a Chemical structure of the alginate sulfate and nanocellulose. Incorporation of the two biomaterials generates an ideal bioink which is appropriate for the 3D bioprinting of complex constructs. Here a miniature size eare was 3D bioprinted (scale bar is 5 mm). b and c Viability assessment of chondrocytes and Live/dead staining of bovine chondrocytes respectively, encapsulated in alginate and alginate sulfate with or without nanocelloluse after 1, 14 and 28 days of culture. The scale bar is 100 μm
