Background:

3D bioprinting offers potential for creating functional airway replacements.
Challenges exist in fabricating patient-specific, hollow airway constructs with suitable bioinks.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop biocompatible bioinks for engineering structurally and mechanically relevant airway tissues.
To assess the suitability of these bioinks for bioprinting complex hollow airway constructs.

Main Methods:

Development of polymer-blended human airway-derived decellularized extracellular matrix (AW-dECM) bioinks.
Optimization of bioink formulation (30 mg/mL AW-dECM, nanofibrillar cellulose alginate-RGD).
Bioprinting of hollow airway structures and assessment of mechanical properties, cell viability, differentiation, and biocompatibility via implantation.

Main Results:

An optimal AW-dECM bioink formulation supported bioprinting of simple and complex hollow airway structures.
Engineered constructs exhibited mechanical properties similar to native airways (8-10 kPa).
Bioinks promoted primary human airway epithelial cell viability, adhesion, and differentiation; demonstrated biocompatibility in vivo.

Conclusions:

Developed AW-dECM bioinks provide a foundation for improved physiological airway models.
These bioinks are promising for the future development of tissue-engineered airway replacements.
