摘要

Fiber bundles are present in many tissues throughout the body. In most cases,collagen subunits spontaneously self-assemble into a fibrilar structure thatprovides ductility to bone and constitutes the basis of muscle contraction.Translating these natural architectural features into a biomimetic scaffold stillremains a great challenge. Here, a simple strategy is proposed to engineerbiomimetic fiber bundles that replicate the self-assembly and hierarchy ofnatural collagen fibers. The electrostatic interaction of methacrylated gellangum with a countercharged chitosan polymer leads to the complexation of thepolyelectrolytes. When directed through a polydimethylsiloxane channel, thepolyelectrolytes form a hierarchical fibrous hydrogel demonstrating nanoscaleperiodic light/dark bands similar to D-periodic bands in native collagen andalign parallel fibrils at microscale. Importantly, collagen-mimicking hydrogelfibers exhibit robust mechanical properties (MPa scale) at a single fiber bundlelevel and enable encapsulation of cells inside the fibers under cell-friendly mildconditions. Presence of carboxyl- (in gellan gum) or amino- (in chitosan) functionalitiesfurther enables controlled peptide functionalization such as Arginylglycylasparticacid (RGD) for biochemical mimicry (cell adhesion sites) of nativecollagen. This biomimetic-aligned fibrous hydrogel system can potentially beused as a scaffold for tissue engineering as well as a drug/gene delivery vehicle.
