Abstract

In this work, we provided a photocurable bioink composed of modified epsilon-poly-l-lysine (EPL-MA) for digital light processing (DLP). The EPL-MA was facilely synthesized by grafting with the glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) via a nucleophilic amination ring-opening reaction and forming linkages between EPL and GMA. The photocuring efficiency of the optimized EPL-MA hydrogel could be modulated. Through the DLP technology, highly complex organ model structures can be built by using this EPL-MA bioink with excellent reliable biocompatibility. It indicates that this photocurable EPL-MA is promising bioink used for DLP 3D printing and may has potential application in tissue engineering.
