Here, we investigated the usefulness of silk fibroin nanofibers obtained via mechanical grinding of degummed silkworm silk fibers as an additive in bioinks for extrusion three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of cell-laden constructs. The nanofibers could be sterilized by autoclaving, and addition of the nanofibers improved the shear thinning of polymeric aqueous solutions, independent of electric charge and the content of cross-linkable moieties in the polymers. The addition of nanofibers to bioink ...[more]
