3D bio-printed constructs made of alginate/gelatin (AG) and alginate/gelatin/nano-HAp (AGH) mixed with human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) before and after implantation showing osteoinduction. Constructs were implanted into the back sub-cutaneous area of nude mice and harvested eight weeks after surgery. Larger bone formation was observed in the constructs containing HAp.
