Developing Novel Dopamine Based Printing Ink for Promoting Neural Stem Cell Differentiation

A customizable 3D printed dopamine-modified GelMA scaffold supporting stem cell growth and synergistically improving neural differentiation of NSCs. The resultant analysis demonstrated that a significant neural network was conducted on 3D printed GelMA-DA scaffold after 12 days. In particular, the neuron related TUJ1 and MAP2 genes expression upregulated while the NSCs related NESTIN gene expression downregulated during the neural differentiation process. These findings illustrates customizable 3D printed GelMA-DA scaffolds can promote neural differentiation and show great promise for neural tissue engineering.
