Researchers develop curcumin-based photoinitiator for multifunctional 3D printed GelMA scaffolds

• Researchers at the University of Crete and the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH/IESL) have reported a one-step strategy for fabricating bioactive 3D hydrogel scaffolds using curcumin as a multifunctional photoinitiator in two-photon polymerization (2PP). Posted as a preprint last month, the study says curcumin serves two roles: it enables high-resolution 3D printing while simultaneously […]
