Abstract: Bioprinting has been widely investigated for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. However, it is still
difficult to reconstruct the complex native cell arrangement due to the limited printing resolution of conventional bioprinting
techniques such as extrusion- and inkjet-based printing. Recently, an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) bioprinting strategy was
reported for the precise deposition of well-organized cell-laden constructs with microscale filament size, whereas few studies
have been devoted to developing bioinks that can be applied for EHD bioprinting and simultaneously support cell spreading.
This study describes functionalized alginate-based bioinks for microscale EHD bioprinting using peptide grafting and fibrin
incorporation, which leads to high cell viability (>90%) and cell spreading. The printed filaments can be further refined
to as small as 30 ?m by incorporating polyoxyethylene and remained stable over one week when exposed to an aqueous
environment. By utilizing the presented alginate-based bioinks, layer-specific cell alignment along the printing struts could
be observed inside the EHD-printed microscale filaments, which allows fabricating living constructs with cell-scale filament
resolution for guided cellular orientation.
