Abstract 3D bioprinting techniques have enabled the fabrication of irregular large‐sized tissue engineering scaffolds. However, complicated customized designs increase medical burden. Meanwhile, integrated printing process hinders cellular uniform distribution and local angiogenesis. A novel approach is introduced to construction sizable grafts by employing hydrogel for modular bioadhesion assembly, a poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)‐gelatin‐dopamine (PGD) hydrogel, photosensitive...

Impaired wound healing might be associated with many issues, especially overactive of reactive oxygen species (ROS), deficiency blood vessels and immature epidermis. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), as an antioxidant, could solve these problems by inhibiting overreactive ROS, promoting revascularization accelerating re-epithelialization. How to deliver NAC in situ a controllable releasing speed still remain challenge.In this study, we combined collagen (Col) perform the characteristics sustained...
