  title = {Protocol for the fabrication of self-standing (nano)cellulose-based 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering},
  abstract = {Three-dimensional (3D) and porous scaffolds made from nanocellulosic materials hold significant potential in tissue engineering (TE). Here, we present a protocol for fabricating self-standing (nano)cellulose-based 3D scaffolds designed for in~vitro testing of cells from skin and cartilage tissues. We describe steps for preparation of nanocellulose ink, scaffold formation using 3D printing, and freeze-drying.~We then detail post-processing procedures to enhance mechanical properties, stability, and biocompatibility. This protocol offers researchers a framework for developing versatile and sustainable biomaterials for regenerative medicine. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Mohan et~al.1 and {\v S}tiglic et~al.2},
