3D printing technology has recently gained substantial interest for potential applications in tissue engineering due to the ability of making a three-dimensional object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D-printed biopolymers, which combine the 3D printing technology and biopolymers, have shown great potential in tissue engineering applications and are receiving significant attention, which has resulted in the development of numerous research programs regarding the material systems which are available for 3D printing. This review focuses on recent advances in the development of biopolymer materials, including natural biopolymer-based materials and synthetic biopolymer-based materials prepared using 3D printing technology, and some future challenges and applications of this technology are discussed.

Agarose and poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG) are commonly used as scaffolds for cell and tissue engineering applications [1]. Agarose is a natural biomaterial that is thought to be inert [2] and permits growing cells and tissues in a three-dimensional suspension [3]. Gels synthesized from photoreactive poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) macromonomers are well suited as cell carriers because they can be rapidly photopolymerized in vivo by a chain radical polymerization that is not toxic to cells, including chondrocytes. This paper explores the differences in mechanical behavior between agarose, a physically cross-linked hydrogel, and PEG, a chemically cross-linked hydrogel, to set the foundation for choosing hydrogel properties and chemistries for a desired tissue engineering application.

Deer antler velvet (DAV), Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, has been known for the outstanding growth rate and used in extracted liquid form in oriental herbal medicine for the tissue regeneration. The DAV is also famous for the abundance of many different minerals, proteins, growth factors and interleukins. The immense amount of DAV is consumed to produce DAV extract in Asian countries. However, the mechanical strength and the morphologic features of DAV have been overlooked. In this study, we revisited the possibility of DAV as a bone tissue scaffold. We first obtained DAV particles via physical decellularization followed by levigation procedure and then applied to the fabrication of three-dimensional porous alginate/DAVP sponge through lyophilizing alginate/DAVP hydrogel as a potential bone tissue scaffold source. The morphological and physicochemical properties of alginate/DAVP sponge were characterized using UTM, SEM, FE-SEM, and FT-IR. The alginate-based highly porous sponge demonstrated the interconnected porous structure with DAVP and improved mechanical properties. We expected both alginate/DAVP and DAVP are potential for tissue engineering application.
