| Introduction | Gelatin is a natural biopolymer material obtained by moderate hydrolysis and thermal denaturation of collagen, which has an amino acid sequence similar to collagen. Gelatin side chains contain a variety of active groups, such as amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl, etc. The possibility of multi-site chemical modification makes gelatin favored by many hydrogel researchers. Methacryloyl gelatin (GelMA) is an olefin double bond modified gelatin, which can be rapidly cured into gel under the action of ultraviolet and visible light under the action of photoinitiators. GelMA photocurable hydrogel has the characteristics of both natural and synthetic biomaterials, and has a three-dimensional (3D) structure suitable for cell growth and differentiation. GelMA hydrogel has excellent biocompatibility and cell response characteristics, such as providing suitable cell adhesion sites and proteolytic degradation, which can replace artificial basement membranes or other natural collagen hydrogels. In addition, GelMA hydrogel has good mechanical properties, and the 3D microscaffold constructed by it has adjustable mechanical and chemical properties. In addition, GelMA has good thermosensitive gel properties and degradability, its mechanical properties are adjustable, and it can provide a variety of viscoelastic properties. It has been widely used in research fields such as cell 3D culture, tissue engineering, and biological 3D printing. |
