Abstract
This study introduces a handheld 3D printer for fabricating porous, cell-laden methacrylated gelatin (GelMa) constructs. The printer uses air injection and a bubble-making system with mesh filters to create high porosity (≈97%). The pore size and foamability are controlled by adjusting rheological properties of GelMa, filter size and number, and air-bioink ratio. In vitro and in vivo tests using human adipose stem cells (hASCs) showed good cell viability and significant muscle regeneration in a mouse model, suggesting this method's potential for muscle tissue regeneration.
