Bioprinting of tissue constructs with tissue-specific dECM bioinks. (A) Schematic representation of the bioprinting process using dECM bioinks. (B-D) Multi-layered tissue constructs were bioprinted with (B) cardiac-specific dECM bioink and representative microscopic image, (C) cartilage-specific dECM bioink and representative SEM image, and (D) adipose-specific dECM bioink and representative microscopic image. Reproduced with permission from ref.[63]. (E) Schematic representation of a bioprinted pre-vascularized stem cell patch using dECM bioink and supporting PCL. (F) Photograph of implanted cardiac dECM/PCL patch. (G) Cardiomyogenesis and neovascularization of the pre-vascularized stem cell patch. Reproduced with permission from ref.[92]. (H) SEM images of native porcine Achilles tendon and dECM obtained from the same tissue. (I) Collagen type I immunostaining of native and dECM tendon tissues. Reproduced with permission from ref.[93].
