3D printing elastomeric biomaterials alleviates compression during angiogenesis in vitro

This study proposes an innovative 3D printed silicone resin scaffold (3DPSS) that can better mimic angiogenesis and prevascular network formation in vivo through precise control of stent structure. Compared to traditional hydrogel scaffolds, 3DPSS scaffolds have more accurate pore size and shape, which can better support angiogenesis, reduce hydrogel compression, and increase surface area, thereby promoting cell growth and migration. In addition, 3DPSS scaffolds also have better mechanical stability and biocompatibility, providing an effective platform for further research into engineered tissue and cell therapies.
