Silk fibroin nanofibers: a promising ink additive for extrusion three-dimensional bioprinting

Here, we investigated the usefulness of silk fibroin nanofibers obtained via mechanical grinding of degummed silkworm silk fibers as an additive in bioinks for extrusion three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of cell-laden constructs. The nanofibers could be sterilized by autoclaving, and addition of th...
