In the field of biofabrication, biopolymer-based hydrogels are often used as bulk materials with defined structures or as bioinks. Despite their excellent biocompatibility, biopolymers need chemical modification to fulfill mechanical stability.
In this thesis, the primary alcohol of hyaluronic acid was oxidized using TEMPO/TCC oxidation to generate aldehyde groups without ring-opening mechanism of glycol cleavage using sodium periodate. For crosslinking reaction of the aldehyde groups, adipic acid dihydrazide was used as bivalent crosslinker for Schiff Base chemistry. This hydrogel system with fast and reversible crosslinking mechanism was used successfully as bulk hydrogel for chondrogenic differentiation with human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC).
Gelatin was modified with pentenoic acid for crosslinking reaction via light controllable thiol-ene reaction, using thiolated 4-arm sPEG as multivalent crosslinker. Due to preservation of the thermo responsive property of gelatin by avoiding chain degradation during modification reaction, this gelatin-based hydrogel system was successfully processed via 3D printing with low polymer concentration. Good cell viability was achieved using hMSC in various concentrations after 3D bioprinting and chondrogenic differentiation showed promising results.
