Abstract
As a kind of natural protein derived material, gelatin has been widely used in the preparation of medical hydrogels due to its good biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity and the ability of promoting cell adhesion. Functionalization of gelatin-based hydrogels is a hot topic in research and its clinic application. Herein, a novel gelatin-based adhesive hydrogel was prepared via mussel-inspired chemistry. Gelatin was firstly functionalized by dopamine to form dopamine grafted gelatin (GelDA). After the mixture with 1,4-phenylenebisboronic acid and graphene oxide (GO), the GelDA/GO hydrogels were obtained by H2O2/HRP (horseradish peroxidase) catalytic system. Based on the self-healing and tissue adhesion of the hydrogels, the hemostatic property has been exhibited in the rat hepatic hemorrhage model. Additionally, the incorporation of GO endowed conductivity and enhanced the mechanical property of GelDA/GO hydrogels. The electromyography (EMG) signals of finger movement were successfully monitored by using hydrogel as the adhesive electrodes of EMG monitor. L929 cell experiments showed that the hydrogels had good cytocompatibility. The results indicated the potential application of GelDA/GO hydrogels in tissue adhesives, wound dressings, and wearable devices.

Abstract
Hydrogels are excellent soft materials to interface with biological systems. Precise control and tunability of dissipative properties of gels are particularly interesting in tissue engineering applications. In this work, we produced hydrogels with tunable dissipative properties by photopolymerizing a second polymer within a preformed cross-linked hydrogel network of poly(acrylamide). We explored second networks made with different structures and capacity to hydrogen bond with the first network, namely linear poly(acrylic acid) and branched poly(tannic acid). Gels incorporating a second network made with poly(tannic acid) exhibited excellent stiffness (0.35 ± 0.035 MPa) and toughness (1.64 ± 0.26 MJ m-3) compared to the poly(acrylic acid) counterparts. We also demonstrate a strategy to fabricate hydrogels where the dissipation (loss modulus) can be tuned independently from the elasticity (storage modulus) suitable for cell culture applications. We anticipate that this modular design approach for producing hydrogels will have applications in tailored substrates for cell culture studies and in load bearing tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
In this study, we report that an enzyme-mimicking biocatalyst polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer G2.0-hematin (G2.0-He) was fabricated successfully. The chemical structure of G2.0-He was verified by 1H NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. G2.0-He exhibited a size distribution from
to
and a zeta potential from 32.5 mV to 25.6 mV along with the enhancement of the hematin conjugation degree. The relative activity of G2.0-He was evaluated based on pyrogallol oxidation reactions at
. The results showed that G2.0-He was more stable than horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme in high H2O2 concentrations. The HRP-mimic ability of G2.0-He was also confirmed by the catalyzation when preparing catecholic gelatin hydrogels under mild conditions. Moreover, our results also revealed that these hydrogels performed with excellent cytocompatibility in an in vitro study and could be used as a potential scaffold for adhesion and proliferation of fibroblast cells. The obtained results indicated that G2.0-He is a suitable platform for altering the HRP enzyme in several biomedical applications.

During the past decades, photo-crosslinked gelatin hydrogel (methacrylated gelatin, GelMA) has gained a lot of attention due to its remarkable application in the biomedical field. It has been widely used in cell transplantation, cell culture and drug delivery, based on its crosslinking to form hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties and excellent bio-compatibility when exposed to light irradiation to mimic the micro-environment of native extracellular matrix (ECM). Because of its unique biofunctionality and mechanical tenability, it has also been widely applied in the repair and regeneration of bone, heart, cornea, epidermal tissue, cartilage, vascular, peripheral nerve, oral mucosa, and skeletal muscle et al. The purpose of this review is to summarize the recent application of GelMA in drug delivery and tissue engineering field. Moreover, this review article will briefly introduce both the development of GelMA and the characterization of GelMA. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future development prospects of GelMA as a tissue engineering material and drug or gene delivery carrier, hoping to contribute to accelerating the development of GelMA in the biomedical field.

Abstract
The fabrication of 3D fibrous scaffolds with highly interconnected pores has been crucial in the development of tissue regeneration techniques. The present study describes the fabrication of 3D fibrous scaffolds by freeze-drying of polydopamine (PDA) coated centrifugal spun gelatin fibers. We wanted to combine the mussel-inspired chemistry, Maillard reaction, and the 3D microstructural advantages of centrifugal spun fibers to develop the green fibrous scaffolds at low cost, high speed, and desired mold shape. The resultant PDA-gelatin fibers exhibited a smooth 3D microstructure with a uniform formation of PDA thin ad-layer that enhanced the mechanical properties and stability of the scaffolds, and thereby decreased the degradation rate. All scaffolds showed promising properties including good dimensional and mechanical stability under wet state, optimal porosity over 94%, and high water uptake of approximately 1500%. The results of cell culture studies, further confirmed that all scaffolds exhibited appropriate biocompatibility, cell proliferation, migration, and infiltration. Particularly, the PDA-coated scaffolds showed a significant enhancement in proliferation, migration, and infiltration of HDF-GFP+ cells. These results show that a 3D porous fibrous scaffold with simplifying tunable density and desirable shape on a large scale can be readily prepared for different fields of tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Generation of reactive oxygen species, delayed blood clotting, prolonged inflammation, bacterial infection, and slow cell proliferation are the main challenges of effective wound repair. Herein, a multifunctional extracellular matrix-mimicking hydrogel is fabricated through abundant hydrogen bonding among the functional groups of gelatin and tannic acid (TA) as a green chemistry approach. The hydrogel shows adjustable physicochemical properties by altering the concentration of TA and it represents high safety features both in vitro and in vivo on fibroblasts, red blood cells, and mice organs. In addition to the merit of facile encapsulation of cell proliferation-inducing hydrophilic drugs, accelerated healing of skin injury is obtained through pH-dependent release of TA and its multifaceted mechanisms as an antibacterial, antioxidant, hemostatic, and anti-inflammatory moiety. The developed gelatin-TA (GelTA) hydrogel also shows an outstanding effect on the formation of extracellular matrix and wound closure in vivo via offered cell adhesion sites in the backbone of gelatin that provide increased re-epithelialization and better collagen deposition. These results suggest that the multifunctional GelTA hydrogel is a promising candidate for the clinical treatment of full-thickness wounds and further development of wound dressing materials that releases active agents in the neutral or slightly basic environment of infected nonhealing wounds.

Abstract
Articular cartilage is a highly specialised connective tissue of diarthrodial joints which provides a smooth, lubricated surface for joint articulation and plays a crucial role in the transmission of loads. In vivo cartilage is subjected to mechanical stimuli that are essential for cartilage development and the maintenance of a chondrocytic phenotype. Cartilage damage caused by traumatic injuries, ageing, or degradative diseases leads to impaired loading resistance and progressive degeneration of both the articular cartilage and the underlying subchondral bone. Since the tissue has limited self-repairing capacity due its avascular nature, restoration of its mechanical properties is still a major challenge. Tissue engineering techniques have the potential to heal osteochondral defects using a combination of stem cells, growth factors, and biomaterials that could produce a biomechanically functional tissue, representative of native hyaline cartilage. However, current clinical approaches fail to repair full-thickness defects that include the underlying subchondral bone. Moreover, when tested in vivo, current tissue-engineered grafts show limited capacity to regenerate the damaged tissue due to poor integration with host cartilage and the failure to retain structural integrity after insertion, resulting in reduced mechanical function. The aim of this review is to examine the optimal characteristics of osteochondral scaffolds. Additionally, an overview on the latest biomaterials potentially able to replicate the natural mechanical environment of articular cartilage and their role in maintaining mechanical cues to drive chondrogenesis will be detailed, as well as the overall mechanical performance of grafts engineered using different technologies.

Abstract
Leveraging 3D bioprinting for processing stem cell-laden biomaterials has unlocked a tremendous potential for fabricating living 3D constructs for bone tissue engineering. Even though several bioinks developed to date display suitable physicochemical properties for stem cell seeding and proliferation, they generally lack the nanosized minerals present in native bone bioarchitecture. To enable the bottom-up fabrication of biomimetic 3D constructs for bioinstructing stem cells pro-osteogenic differentiation, herein we developed multi-bioactive nanocomposite bioinks that combine the organic and inorganic building blocks of bone. For the organic component gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), a photocrosslinkable denaturated collagen derivative used for 3D bioprinting was selected due to its rheological properties display of cell adhesion moities to which bone tissue precursors such as human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) can attach to. The inorganic building block was formulated by incorporating mesoporous silica nanoparticles functionalized with calcium, phosphate and dexamethasone (MSNCaPDex), which previously proven to induce osteogenic differentiation. The newly formulated photocrosslinkable nanocomposite GelMA bioink incorporating MSNCaPDex nanoparticles and laden with hBM-MSCs was sucessfully processed into a 3D bioprintable construct with structural fidelity and well dispersed nanoparticles throughout the hydrogel matrix. These nanocomposite constructs could induce the deposition of apatite in vitro, thus showing attractive bioactivity properties. Viability and differentiation studies showed that hBM-MSCs remained viable and exhibited osteogenic differentiation biomarkers when incorporated in GelMA/MSNCaPDex constructs and without requiring further biochemical nor mechanical stimuli. Overall, our nanocomposite bioink has demonstrated excellent processability via extrusion bioprinting into osteogenic constructs with potential application in bone tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a complex metabolic disorder, leads to many health complications like kidney failure, diabetic heart disease, stroke, and foot ulcers. Treatment approaches of diabetes and identification of the mechanisms underlying diabetic complications of the skin have gained importance due to continued rapid increase in the diabetes incidence. A thick and pre-vascularized in vitro 3D type 2 diabetic human skin model (DHSM) was developed in this study. The methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel was produced by photocrosslinking and its pore size (54.85 ± 8.58 μm), compressive modulus (4.53 ± 0.67 kPa) and swelling ratio (17.5 ± 2.2%) were found to be suitable for skin tissue engineering. 8% GelMA hydrogel effectively supported the viability, spreading and proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts. By isolating dermal fibroblasts, human umbilical vein endothelial cells and keratinocytes from type 2 diabetic patients, an in vitro 3D type 2 DHSM, 12 mm in width and 1.86 mm thick, was constructed. The skin model consisted of a continuous basal epidermal layer and a dermal layer with blood capillary-like structures, ideal for evaluating the effects of anti-diabetic drugs and wound healing materials and factors. The functionality of the DHSM was showed by applying a therapeutic hydrogel into its central wound; especially fibroblast migration to the wound site was evident in 9 d. We have demonstrated that DHSM is a biologically relevant model with sensitivity and predictability in evaluating the diabetic wound healing potential of a therapeutic material.

Abstract
The presence of organic dyes in wastewater is a problem of growing interest due to its effect on the environment and human health. The aim of this work was to obtain magnetic hydrogels of methacrylated gelatin-g-polyelectrolyte to be used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) used as a model contaminant dye. Grafted gelatins with two degrees of functionalization (48% and 76%) were obtained and subsequently crosslinked using 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propansulfonic acid (AMPS) and sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate (SSNa) monomers. Magnetic nanoparticles were formed by an in situ precipitation method to easily remove the hydrogel from the adsorption medium. Our data show that the hydrogel with a low degree of methacrylation displayed a high degree of swelling and decreased stiffness due to its less connected polymer network. MB adsorption experiments showed that neither the low degree of methacrylation nor the presence of the aromatic group in the PSSNa polyelectrolyte generated an increase in the adsorption capacity of the hydrogel. However, a significant increase in the adsorption capacity was observed when dry hydrogels were combined compared to that of previously swollen hydrogel. The experimental data were non-linearly fitted to the pseudo-first and pseudo-second order models and in both cases, the highest qe values were obtained for the GelMA-HF/PAMPS and GelMA-LF/PAMPS hydrogels. The Freundlich isotherm model was the one with the best correlation with the data (r2 > 0.9700). Higher kf values were obtained for the GelMA-HF/PAMPS and GelMA-LF/PAMPS hydrogels at 20 °C. The results obtained from this study demonstrated that magnetic polyelectrolyte-grafted gelatins are an efficient option for the removal of contaminant dyes from aqueous solutions. Magnetic methacrylated gelatin grafted with anionic polyelectrolytes hydrogels removes methylene blue efficiently and easily separate with a magnet.![]()

[PMID: 32859028 PMCID: PMC7565187 DOI: 10.3390/polym12091930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Revised: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMa) is a very versatile biomaterial widely used in various biomedical applications. The addition of methacryloyl makes it possible to have hydrogels with varying mechanical properties due to its photocuring characteristics. In addition, gelatin is obtained and derived from natural material; thus, it retains various cell-friendly motifs, such as arginine-glycine-aspartic acid, which then provides implanted cells with a friendly environment for proliferation and differentiation. In this study, we fabricated human dermal fibroblast cell (hDF)-laden photocurable GelMa hydrogels with varying physical properties (5%, 10%, and 15%) and assessed them for cellular responses and behavior, including cell spreading, proliferation, and the degree of extracellular matrix remodeling. Under similar photocuring conditions, lower concentrations of GelMa hydrogels had lower mechanical properties than higher concentrations. Furthermore, other properties, such as swelling and degradation, were compared in this study. In addition, our findings revealed that there were increased remodeling and proliferation markers in the 5% GelMa group, which had lower mechanical properties. However, it was important to note that cellular viabilities were not affected by the stiffness of the hydrogels. With this result in mind, we attempted to fabricate 5-15% GelMa scaffolds (20 × 20 × 3 mm3) to assess their feasibility for use in skin regeneration applications. The results showed that both 10% and 15% GelMa scaffolds could be fabricated easily at room temperature by adjusting several parameters, such as printing speed and extrusion pressure. However, since the sol-gel temperature of 5% GelMa was noted to be lower than its counterparts, 5% GelMa scaffolds had to be printed at low temperatures. In conclusion, GelMa once again was shown to be an ideal biomaterial for various tissue engineering applications due to its versatile mechanical and biological properties. This study showed the feasibility of GelMa in skin tissue engineering and its potential as an alternative for skin transplants.

Abstract
Conductive polymers (CPs) are generally insoluble, and developing hydrophilic CPs is significant to broaden the applications of CPs. In this work, a mussel-inspired strategy was proposed to construct hydrophilic CP nanoparticles (CP NPs), while endowing the CP NPs with redox activity and biocompatibility. This is a universal strategy applicable for a series of CPs, including polyaniline, polypyrrole, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). The catechol/quinone contained sulfonated lignin (LS) was doped into various CPs to form CP/LS NPs with hydrophilicity, conductivity, and redox activity. These CP/LS NPs were used as versatile nanofillers to prepare the conductive hydrogels with long-term adhesiveness. The CP/LS NPs-incorporated hydrogels have a good conductivity because of the uniform distribution of the hydrophilic NPs in the hydrogel network, forming a well-connected electric path. The hydrogel exhibits long-term adhesiveness, which is attributed to the mussel-inspired dynamic redox balance of catechol/quinone groups on the CP/LS NPs. This conductive and adhesive hydrogel shows good electroactivity and biocompatibility and therefore has broad applications in electrostimulation of tissue regeneration and implantable bioelectronics.

Abstract
Reinforcing polymeric scaffolds with micro/nanoparticles improve their mechanical properties and render them bioactive. In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) is incorporated into 5% (w/v) gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels at 1, 5, and 20 mg mL-1 concentrations. The material properties of these composite gels are characterized through swelling, degradation, and compression tests. Using 3D cell encapsulation, the cytocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation of preosteoblasts are evaluated to assess the biological properties of the composite scaffolds. The in vitro assays demonstrate increasing cell proliferation and metabolic activity over the course of 14 d in culture. Furthermore, the scaffolds support osteogenic differentiation of the microencapsulated preosteoblasts. For the in vivo study, the composite scaffolds are subcutaneously implanted in rats for 14 d. The histological staining of the explanted in vivo samples exhibits the functional advantages of the scaffold's biocompatibility, biodegradability, and integration into the existing host tissue. This work demonstrates the enhanced mechanical and biological performance of HA-gelatin composite hydrogels for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Cartilage defects pose a great threat to the health of the aging population. Cartilage has limited self-regeneration ability because it lacks blood vessels, nerves and lymph. To achieve efficient cartilage regeneration, supramolecular hydrogels are used in medical applications and tissue engineering as they are tunable and reversible in nature. Moreover, they possess supramolecular interactions which allow the incorporation of cells. These hydrogels present great potential for tissue engineering-based therapies. This review presents advances in the development of stem cell-laden supramolecular hydrogels. We discuss new possibilities for stem cell therapy and their uses in cartilage tissue engineering. Gray areas and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Polypropylene (PP) mesh has been used successfully for a long time in clinical practice as an impressive prosthesis for ventral hernia repair. To utilize a physical barrier for separating mesh from viscera is a general approach for preventing adhesions in clinical practice. However, a serious abdominal adhesion between the mesh and viscera can possibly occur post-hernia, especially with the small intestine; this can lead to a series of complications, such as chronic pain, intestinal obstruction, and fistula. Thus, determining how to prevent abdominal adhesions between the mesh and viscera is still an urgent clinical problem. In this study, a dopamine-functionalized polysaccharide derivative (oxidized-carboxymethylcellulose-g-dopamine, OCMC-DA) was synthesized; this was blended with carboxymethylchitosan (CMCS) to form a hydrogel (OCMC-DA/CMCS) in situ at the appropriate time. The physical and chemical properties of the hydrogel were characterized successfully, and its excellent biocompatibility was presented by the in vitro cell test. The combination of this hydrogel and PP mesh was used in laparoscopic surgery for repairing the abdominal wall defect, where the hydrogel could become fixed in situ on the PP mesh to form an anti-adhesion gel-mesh. The results showed that the gel-mesh could prevent abdominal adhesions effectively in the piglet model. Moreover, the histology and immunohistochemical staining proved that the gel-mesh could effectively alleviate the inflammation reaction and deposition of collagen around the mesh, and it did not disturb the integration between mesh and abdominal wall. Thus, the gel-mesh has superior tissue compatibility.

Abstract
Cartilage injury originating from trauma or osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that can bring about an increasing social and economic burden in modern society. On account of its avascular, neural, and lymphatic characteristics, the poor migration ability of chondrocytes, and a low number of progenitor cells, the self-healing ability of cartilage defects has been significantly limited. Natural hydrogels, occurring abundantly with characteristics such as high water absorption, biodegradation, adjustable porosity, and biocompatibility like that of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), have been developed into one of the most suitable scaffold biomaterials for the regeneration of cartilage in material science and tissue engineering. Notably, natural hydrogels derived from sources such as animal or human cadaver tissues possess the bionic mechanical behaviors of physiological cartilage that are required for usage as articular cartilage substitutes, by which the enhanced chondrogenic phenotype ability may be achieved by facilely embedding living cells, controlling degradation profiles, and releasing stimulatory growth factors. Hence, we summarize an overview of strategies and developments of the various kinds and functions of natural hydrogels for cartilage tissue engineering in this review. The main concepts and recent essential research found that great challenges like vascularity, clinically relevant size, and mechanical performances were still difficult to overcome because the current limitations of technologies need to be severely addressed in practical settings, particularly in unpredictable preclinical trials and during future forays into cartilage regeneration using natural hydrogel scaffolds with high mechanical properties. Therefore, the grand aim of this current review is to underpin the importance of preparation, modification, and application for the high performance of natural hydrogels for cartilage tissue engineering, which has been achieved by presenting a promising avenue in various fields and postulating real-world respective potentials.

Abstract
Electrically conducting polymers have been emerging as intelligent bioactive materials for regulating cell behaviors and bone tissue regeneration. Additionally, poor adhesion between conventional implants and native bone tissue may lead to displacement, local inflammation, and unnecessary secondary surgery. Thus, a conductive bioadhesive with strong adhesion performance provides an effective approach to fulfill fixation and regeneration of comminuted bone fracture. Inspired by mussel chemistry, we designed the conductive copolymers poly{[aniline tetramer methacrylamide]-co-[dopamine methacrylamide]-co-[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate]} [poly(ATMA-co-DOPAMA-co-PEGMA); AT:conductive aniline tetramer; DOPA:dopamine; PEG:poly(ethylene glycol))] with AT content 3.0, 6.0, and 9.0 mol %, respectively. The adhesive strength of this copolymer was enhanced during tensile process perhaps due to the synergistic effects of H-bonding, π-π interactions, and polymer long-chain entanglement, reaching up to 1.28 MPa with 6 mol % AT. Biological characterizations of preosteoblasts indicated that the bioadhesives exhibited desirable biocompatibility. In addition, the osteogenic differentiation was synergistically enhanced by the conductive substrate and electrical stimulation with a square wave, frequency of 100 Hz, 50% duty cycle, and electrical potential of 500 mV, as indicated by ALP activity, calcium deposition, and expression of osteogenic genes. The ALP activity at 14 days and calcium deposition at 28 days on the 9 mol % AT group were significantly higher than that on PLGA under electrical stimulation. The expression value of OPN for 9 mol % AT group was notably upregulated by 5.9-fold compared with PLGA at 7 days under electrical stimulation. Overall, the conductive polymers with strong adhesion can synergistically upregulate the cellular activity combining with electrical stimulation and might be a promising bioadhesive for orthopedic and dental applications.

Abstract
Repairing osteochondral defects is a considerable challenge because it involves the breakdown of articular cartilage and underlying bone. Traditional hydrogels with a homogenized single-layer structure cannot fully restore the function of osteochondral cartilage tissue. In this study, a mussel-inspired hydrogel with a bilayer structure is developed to repair osteochondral defects. The hydrogel is synthesized by simultaneously polymerizing two layers using a one-pot method. The resulting upper and lower gelatin methacryloyl-polydopamine hydrogel layers are used as cartilage and subchondral bone repair layers, respectively. Polydopamine-induced hydroxyapatite in situ mineralization takes place in the lower layer to mimic the structure of subchondral bone. The bilayer hydrogel exhibits good mechanical properties for the synergistic effect of covalent and noncovalent bonds, as well as nanoreinforcement of mineralized hydroxyapatite. To improve the tissue-inducibility of hydrogels, transforming growth factor β3 is immobilized in the upper layer to induce cartilage regeneration, while bone morphogenetic protein 2 is immobilized in the lower layer to induce bone regeneration. Bone and cartilage repair performance of the hydrogel is examined by implantation into a full-thickness cartilage defect of a rabbit knee joint. The bilayer-structure hydrogel promotes regeneration of osteochondral tissue, thus providing a new option for repair of osteochondral defects.

Abstract
Design of functionalized biomimetic scaffolds is one of the key approaches for regenerative medicine and other biomedical applications. Development of engineered tissue should optimize organization and function of cells and tissue in vitro as well as in vivo. Surface topography is one factor controlling cellular behavior and tissue development. By topographical patterning of biocompatible materials, highly functionalized scaffolds can be developed. Gelatin is hereby a promising candidate due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. It is low in cost and easy to handle, enabling a variety of applications in science and medicine. However, for biomedical applications at physiological conditions, gelatin has to be additionally stabilized since its gel-sol-transition temperature lies beneath the human body temperature. This is realized by a reagent-free cross-linking technique utilizing electron beam treatment. By topographical patterning, gelatin can be functionalized toward scaffolds for cell cultivation and tissue development. Thereby, customized patterns are transferred onto gelatin hydrogels via molds. Thermal stabilization of gelatin is then achieved by electron-induced cross-linking. In this study, we investigate the influence of gelatin concentration and irradiation dose on pattern transfer, long-term stability of topographically patterned gelatin hydrogels, and their impact on the cellular behavior of human umbilical vein endothelial cells as well as normal human dermal fibroblasts. We will show that contact guidance occurs for both cell types due to a concrete stripe pattern. In addition, the presented studies show a high degree of cytocompatibility, indicating a high potential of topographically patterned gelatin hydrogels as tissue development scaffold for prospective biomedical applications.
