    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Tissue Engineering
    • 4D Printing

    Background:

    • Four-dimensional (4D) systems enable dynamic structure generation mimicking native tissues.
    • Kirigami strategies offer precise control over morphing behaviors but are underexplored in 4D tissue engineering.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel bio-Kirigami system for creating dynamic, transformable tissue constructs.
    • To demonstrate the use of spatially patterned hydrogels with differential swelling for controlled shape transformation.
    • To establish a robust platform for engineering intricate tissue curvatures.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a bio-Kirigami system using two hydrogel components: a photocrosslinked framework and a rigid support frame.
    • Utilizing photolithographic patterning to create hydrogels with programmed swelling differentials and degradation behavior.
    • Encapsulating stem cells within bio-Kirigami hydrogels and culturing in tissue-specific environments.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved complex structures with continuously evolving configurations through preprogrammed deformations.
    • Engineered stem cell-laden hydrogels into sophisticated, tissue-like constructs.
    • Demonstrated shape integrity of engineered constructs after removal from the support frame.

    Conclusions:

    • The bio-Kirigami system provides a robust platform for fabricating dynamic, transformable tissue constructs.
    • This approach enables precise control over shape and curvature, mimicking native tissue architectures.
    • The technology holds promise for advanced applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
