  • To enable the creation of advanced 3D microenvironments for functional tissue development.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized femtosecond laser direct writing (FsLDW) technology for scaffold fabrication.
  • Employed chemically modified sericin as a monomer for nanoscale precision.
  • Constructed heterogeneous sericin bioscaffolds using biomimetic 3D models derived from natural tissue matrices.

Main Results:

  • Achieved nanoscale precision in fabricating arbitrary 3D sericin microstructures.
  • Developed anisotropic scaffolds that effectively supported directional cell growth and differentiation.
  • Demonstrated enhanced precision in creating heterogeneous, multifunctional microenvironments.

Conclusions:

  • FsLDW technology enables precise fabrication of sericin-based scaffolds mimicking natural ECM.
  • These advanced scaffolds facilitate functional tissue development by supporting cell growth and differentiation.
  • This approach addresses key challenges in simulating ECM microstructures for tissue regeneration.
