The rapid development of additive manufacturing techniques in the field of tissue regeneration offers unprecedented success for artificial tissue and organ fabrication. However, some limitations still remain for current bioinks, such as the compromised cell viability after printing, the low cross-linking efficiency leading to poor printing resolution and speed due to the relatively slow gelation rate, and the requirement of external stimuli for gelation. To address these problems, herein, a biocompatible and printable instant gelation hydrogel system has been developed based on a designed hyperbranched poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based multihydrazide macro-cross-linker (HB-PEG-HDZ) and an aldehyde-functionalized hyaluronic acid (HA-CHO). HB-PEG-HDZ is prepared by the postfunctionalization of hyperbranched PEG-based multivinyl macromer via thiol-ene chemistry. Owing to the high functional group density of HB-PEG-HDZ, the hydrogel can be formed instantly upon mixing the solutions of two components. The reversible cross-linking mechanism between the hydrazide and aldehyde groups endows the hydrogel with shear-thinning and self-healing properties. The minimally toxic components and cross-linking chemistry allow the resulting hydrogel to be a biocompatible niche. Moreover, the fast sol-to-gel transition of the hydrogel, combining all of the advanced characteristics of this platform, protects the cells during the printing procedure, avoids their damage during extrusion, and improves the transplanted cell survival.
