Abstract
Tendon injuries are the leading cause of chronic debilitation to patients. Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) are potential seed cells for tendon tissue engineering and regeneration, but TSPCs are prone to lose their distinct phenotype in vitro and specific differentiation into the tenocyte lineage is challenging. Utilizing small molecules in an ex vivo culture system may be a promising solution and can significantly improve the therapeutic applications of these cells. Here, by using an image-based, high-throughput screening platform on small molecule libraries, this study established an effective stepwise culture strategy for TSPCs application. The study formulated a cocktail of small molecules which effected proliferation, tenogenesis initiation and maturation phases, and significantly upregulated expression of various tendon-related genes and proteins in TSPCs, which were demonstrated by high-throughput PCR, ScxGFP reporter assay and immunocytochemistry. Furthermore, by combining small molecule-based culture system with 3D printing technology, we embedded living, chemical-empowered TSPCs within a biocompatible hydrogel to engineer tendon grafts, and verified their enhanced ability in promoting functional tendon repair and regeneration both in vivo and in situ. The stepwise culture system for TSPCs and construction of engineered tendon grafts can not only serve as a platform for further studies of underlying molecular mechanisms of tenogenic differentiation, but also provide a new strategy for tissue engineering and development of novel therapeutics for clinical applications.

Abstract
Bioprinting is a rapidly developing technology for the precise design and manufacture of tissues in various biological systems or organs. Coaxial extrusion bioprinting, an emergent branch, has demonstrated a strong potential to enhance bioprinting's engineering versatility. Coaxial bioprinting assists in the fabrication of complex tissue constructs, by enabling concentric deposition of biomaterials. The fabricated tissue constructs started with simple, tubular vasculature but have been substantially developed to integrate complex cell composition and self-assembly, ECM patterning, controlled release, and multi-material gradient profiles. This review article begins with a brief overview of coaxial printing history, followed by an introduction of crucial engineering components. Afterward, we review the recent progress and untapped potential in each specific organ or biological system, and demonstrate how coaxial bioprinting facilitates the creation of tissue constructs. Ultimately, we conclude that this growing technology will contribute significantly to capabilities in the fields of in vitro modeling, pharmaceutical development, and clinical regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Building tissues from scratch to explore entirely new cell configurations could revolutionize fundamental understanding in biology. Bioprinting is an emerging technology to do this. Although typically applied to engineer tissues for therapeutic tissue repair or drug screening, there are many opportunities for bioprinting within biology, such as for exploring cellular crosstalk or cellular morphogenesis. The overall goals of this Primer are to provide an overview of bioprinting with the biologist in mind, outline the steps in extrusion bioprinting (the most widely used and accessible technology), and discuss alternative bioprinting technologies and future opportunities for bioprinting in biology.

Abstract
For modern tissue engineering, we need not only develop new hydrogels but also suitable processing methods for them. Polypeptides and polysaccharides are potential candidates because they can be methacrylated, processed before photocross-linking, and yielded into hydrogels with given shape and form. In this study, we successfully methacrylated collagen, gelatin, hyaluronan, and alginate to 30 and 60% degree of modification. We studied methacrylated compositions (i.e., precursors) to investigate their processability. The precursors of collagen and gelatin with 60% methacrylation exhibited suitable yield stress, shear-thinning properties, and fiber-forming capability for injecting and 3D bioprinting. On the contrary, the 30% methacrylated precursors had properties suitable for casting purposes. Our study also showed that the mechanical properties of hydrogels corresponded to the used photocross-linking conditions and the degree of modification. These results underline the importance of tunability of the precursors and resulting hydrogels according to the specific fabrication method and tissue engineering application.

Abstract
Silk fibroin in material formats provides robust mechanical properties, and thus is a promising protein for 3D printing inks for a range of applications, including tissue engineering, bioelectronics, and bio-optics. Among the various crosslinking mechanisms, photo-crosslinking is particularly useful for 3D printing with silk fibroin inks due to the rapid kinetics, tunable crosslinking dynamics, light-assisted shape control, and the option to use visible light as a biocompatible processing condition. Multiple photo-crosslinking approaches have been applied to native or chemically modified silk fibroin, including photo-oxidation and free radical methacrylate polymerization. The molecular characteristics of silk fibroin, i.e., conformational polymorphism, provide a unique method for crosslinking and microfabrication via light. The molecular design features of silk fibroin inks and the exploitation of photo-crosslinking mechanisms suggest the exciting potential for meeting many biomedical needs in the future.

Abstract
3D printing technology has become a mature manufacturing technique, widely used for its advantages over the traditional methods, such as the end-user customization and rapid prototyping, useful in different application fields, including the biomedical one. Indeed, it represents a helpful tool for the realization of biodevices (i.e. biosensors, microfluidic bioreactors, drug delivery systems and Lab-On-Chip). In this perspective, the development of 3D printable materials with intrinsic functionalities, through the so-called 4D printing, introduces novel opportunities for the fabrication of "smart" or stimuli-responsive devices. Indeed, functional 3D printable materials can modify their surfaces, structures, properties or even shape in response to specific stimuli (such as pressure, temperature or light radiation), adding to the printed object new interesting properties exploited after the fabrication process. In this context, by combining 3D printing technology with an accurate materials' design, functional 3D objects with built-in (bio)chemical functionalities, having biorecognition, biocatalytic and drug delivery capabilities are here reported.

Abstract
With society's growing awareness of climate change, novel renewable and naturally sourced materials have received increasing attention as substitutes for petroleum-based products. Laminarin (LAM-OH) is a highly abundant, nontoxic, degradable polysaccharide found in marine organisms and hence is a promising sustainable polymeric candidate. This work reports on a simple, environmentally friendly, and customizable functionalization strategy for producing a toolbox of LAM-OH derivatives under mild conditions. Herein, natural-origin macromolecules exhibiting specific chemical moieties, namely, allyl, amine, carboxylic acid, thiol, aldehyde, and catechol, were prepared and chemically characterized. Furthermore, the obtained polymers were processed into cytocompatible hydrogels, obtained by employing distinct cross-linking mechanisms, to assess their potential for biomedical purposes. The application scope of such polymers could be extended to fields such as catalysis, cosmetics, life sciences, and food packaging, which can also benefit from having sustainable, nontoxic, and degradable materials. Moreover, it is anticipated that the methodology employed to create this library of new natural-based products could be adapted to modify other polysaccharides and biopolymers in general.

Abstract
Temperature-sensitive hydrogels with mild gel-forming process, good biocompatibility and biodegradability have been widely studied as bioinks and biomaterial inks for 3D bioprinting. However, the hydrogels synthesized via copolymerization of aliphatic polyesters and polyethylene glycols have low mechanical strength and cannot meet the needs of 3D printing. In this paper, we propose a strategy of enhancing the strength of hydrogels by introducing crystallization between blocks to meet the requirements of 3D bioprinting inks. A series of polycaprolactone-polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (PCL-PEG-PCL) triblock polymers were prepared by ring-opening polymerization, of which the strong crystallinity of polycaprolactone blocks improved the printability and enhanced the mechanical properties of the ink. It was found that the resulted hydrogels were temperature-responsive, and the PCL blocks could form a crystalline phase in the state of the hydrogel, thereby significantly increasing the modulus of the hydrogel. Moreover, the mechanical strength of the hydrogel could be adjusted by changing the composition ratio of each block of the copolymer. The 3D printing results showed that the PCL-PEG-PCL hydrogel with crystallinity can not only be extruded and printed via temperature adjustment, but also the three-dimensional structure can be effectively maintained after 3D printing. The gels demonstrated good cell compatibility, and the cell survival rate was maintained at a high level.

Abstract
Three-dimensional bioprinting uses additive manufacturing techniques for the automated fabrication of hierarchically organized living constructs. The building blocks are often hydrogel-based bioinks, which need to be printed into structures with high shape fidelity to the intended computer-aided design. For optimal cell performance, relatively soft and printable inks are preferred, although these undergo significant deformation during the printing process, which may impair shape fidelity. While the concept of good or poor printability seems rather intuitive, its quantitative definition lacks consensus and depends on multiple rheological and chemical parameters of the ink. This review discusses qualitative and quantitative methodologies to evaluate printability of bioinks for extrusion- and lithography-based bioprinting. The physicochemical parameters influencing shape fidelity are discussed, together with their importance in establishing new models, predictive tools and printing methods that are deemed instrumental for the design of next-generation bioinks, and for reproducible comparison of their structural performance.

Abstract
The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has made numerous advances in recent years in the arena of fabricating multifunctional, three-dimensional (3D) tissue constructs. This can be attributed to novel approaches in the bioprinting of stem cells. There are expansive options in bioprinting technology that have become more refined and specialized over the years, and stem cells address many limitations in cell source, expansion, and development of bioengineered tissue constructs. While bioprinted stem cells present an opportunity to replicate physiological microenvironments with precision, the future of this practice relies heavily on the optimization of the cellular microenvironment. To fabricate tissue constructs that are useful in replicating physiological conditions in laboratory settings, or in preparation for transplantation to a living host, the microenvironment must mimic conditions that allow bioprinted stem cells to proliferate, differentiate, and migrate. The advances of bioprinting stem cells and directing cell fate have the potential to provide feasible and translatable approach to creating complex tissues and organs. This review will examine the methods through which bioprinted stem cells are differentiated into desired cell lineages through biochemical, biological, and biomechanical techniques.

Abstract
Biofabrication technologies that use light for polymerization of biomaterials have made
significant progress in the quality, resolution, and generation of precise complex tissue
structures. In recent years, the evolution of these technologies has been growing along
with the development of new photocurable resins and photoinitiators that are biocompatible
and biodegradable with bioactive properties. Such evolution has allowed the progress of a
large number of tissue engineering applications. Flexibility in the design, scale, and
resolution and wide applicability of technologies are strongly dependent on the
understanding of the biophysics involved in the biofabrication process. In particular,
understanding cell–light interactions is crucial when bioprinting using cell-laden
biomaterials. Here, we summarize some theoretical mechanisms, which condition cell
response during bioprinting using light based technologies. We take a brief look at the
light–biomaterial interaction for a better understanding of how linear effects
(refraction, reflection, absorption, emission, and scattering) and nonlinear effects
(two-photon absorption) influence the biofabricated tissue structures and identify the
different parameters essential for maintaining cell viability during and after
bioprinting.

Abstract
Light-driven 3D printing to convert liquid resins into solid objects (i.e., photocuring) has traditionally been dominated by engineering disciplines, yielding the fastest build speeds and highest resolution of any additive manufacturing process. However, the reliance on high-energy UV/violet light limits the materials scope due to degradation and attenuation (e.g., absorption and/or scattering). Chemical innovation to shift the spectrum into more mild and tunable visible wavelengths promises to improve compatibility and expand the repertoire of accessible objects, including those containing biological compounds, nanocomposites, and multimaterial structures. Photochemistry at these longer wavelengths currently suffers from slow reaction times precluding its utility. Herein, novel panchromatic photopolymer resins were developed and applied for the first time to realize rapid high-resolution visible light 3D printing. The combination of electron-deficient and electron-rich coinitiators was critical to overcoming the speed-limited photocuring with visible light. Furthermore, azo-dyes were identified as vital resin components to confine curing to irradiation zones, improving spatial resolution. A unique screening method was used to streamline optimization (e.g., exposure time and azo-dye loading) and correlate resin composition to resolution, cure rate, and mechanical performance. Ultimately, a versatile and general visible-light-based printing method was shown to afford (1) stiff and soft objects with feature sizes <100 μm, (2) build speeds up to 45 mm/h, and (3) mechanical isotropy, rivaling modern UV-based 3D printing technology and providing a foundation from which bio- and composite-printing can emerge.
