This study emphasizes the development of a multifunctional biomaterial ink for wound healing constructs. The biomaterial ink benefits from Aloe vera's intrinsic biocompatible, biodegradable, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory attributes, thus alleviating the need for supplementary substances employed to combat infections and stimulate tissue regeneration. Moreover, this biomaterial ink seeks to address the scarcity of standardized printable materials possessing adequate biocompatibility and physicochemical properties, which hinder its widespread clinical adoption...
