This research focused on the aim of tackling the urgent demand of printable biomaterials, hence we synthetized and characterized three gellan gum-graft-poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) copolymers (GGm-PLGA a, b and c) which differed in the graft substitution degree. We investigated the effect of the polyester chain grafted onto hydrophilic backbone of gellan gum in terms of physicochemical properties and the ability of the system to print 3D cell laden constructs. In particular, we evaluated thermo-rheological, ionotropic crosslinking, shear thinning, swelling and stability properties of these copolymers and their derived biomaterials and findings related to the degree of functionalization. Moreover, the optimization of the 3D process parameters and the effect of different water/DPBS mixtures was investigated, demonstrating the feasibility of the system to print 3D constructs. Finally, biological tests revealed that fibroblasts and chondrocytes remained viable after printing and over a culture period of seven days into scaffolds. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
