Recent Development of Conductive Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering: Review and Perspective

Abstract: In recent years, tissue engineering techniques have been rapidly developed and offer a new therapeutic approach to organ or tissue damage repair. However, most of tissue engineering scaffolds are nonconductive and cannot establish effective electrical coupling with tissue for the electroactive tissues. Electroconductive hydrogels (ECHs) have received increasing attention in tissue engineering owing to their electroconductivity, biocompatibility, and high water content. In vitro, ECHs can not only promote the c… Show more

“…For instance, silk fibroin (SF) based composite NGCs were made by braiding SF and magnesium filaments into an inner layer and freeze-dried with SF and chitosan solution, which endowed them with sufficient compression stability during early stages of nerve regeneration and functional recovery. 40 It is well known that electrical stimulus is impor-tant for programming neuron-related cells, 41,42 which promotes neurite sprouting and Schwann cell migration across the injured site. Conductive polymers such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), polythiophene (PTh), and poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) have been blended with biopolymers to render the final NGC conductive.…”

“…Another option is to use conductive polymers such as PPy, PEDOT, PANi. The aromatic groups in the polymeric chains contain π-conjugations (alternating single and double covalent bonds) with free electrons, conferring electronic conductivity (10 -3 -10 5 S/cm) (Nezakati et al, 2018;Gao et al, 2022).…”

“…[16,17] So far, many attempts have been made to engineer electro-conductive hydrogels by the incorporation of metallic or carbon-based conductive fillers into hydrogel matrixes. [18,19] For example, Zhu et al [20] developed a gold nanorod incorporated gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based bioink for bioprinting of 3D functional cardiac tissue constructs, which showed improved adhesion and organization of cardiac cells when compared to constructs without gold nanorods. However, inorganic nanomaterials tend to generate reactive oxygen species and have been reported as toxic to several cell types.…”
