Abstract
Localized gene delivery via engineered scaffolds offers spatiotemporal control of the gene vector release. Here, we explored the capability of digital light processing based bioprinting to fabricate 3D scaffolds in hydrogels for controlled gene delivery. We demonstrated the compatibility of the method with three representative hydrogel biomaterials for gene delivery. We further investigated the highly tunable release profile with these scaffolds by creating and combining distinct release mechanisms of diffusion and ion exchange. The efficacy of gene delivery of these scaffolds was validated in vitro using 293T cells. Results from this work could potentially facilitate the development of synergistic and personalized gene therapies.
