Chronic wounds caused by severe trauma remain a serious challenge for clinical treatment. In this study, we developed a novel angiogenic 3D-bioprinted peptide patch to improve skin wound healing. The 3D-bioprinted technology can fabricate individual patches according to the shape characteristics of the damaged tissue. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (HAMA) have excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, and were used as a biomaterial to produce bioprinted patches. The pro-angiogenic QHREDGS peptide was covalently conjugated to the 3D-bioprinted GelMA/HAMA patches, extending the release of QHREDGS and improving the angiogenic properties of the patch. Our results demonstrated that these 3D-bioprinted peptide patches showed excellent biocompatibility, angiogenesis, and tissue repair both in vivo and in vitro. These findings indicated that 3D-bioprinted peptide patches improved skin wound healing and could be used in other tissue engineering applications.
