The generation of artificial human tissue by 3D-bioprinting has expanded significantly as a clinically relevant research topic in recent years. However, to produce complex and viable tissue, in-depth biological understanding advanced printing techniques are required with high number process parameters. Here, we systematically evaluate the parameters for hybrid bioprinting based on fused-deposition modeling (FDM) thermoplastic material microextrusion cell-laden hydrogel. First, investigated...
Abstract Scalable fabrication concepts of 3D kidney tissue models are required to enable their application in pharmaceutical high-throughput screenings. Yet the reconstruction complex structures remains technologically challenging. We present a novel concept reducing demands, by using controlled cellular self-assembly achieve higher complexities from significantly simplified construct designs. used drop-on-demand bioprinting fabricate locally confined patterns renal epithelial cells embedded...
Bioprinting can be considered as a progression of the classical tissue engineering approach, in which cells are randomly seeded into scaffolds. offers advantage that placed with high spatial fidelity within three-dimensional constructs. A decisive factor to addressed for bioprinting approaches artificial tissues is almost all human body depend on functioning vascular system supply oxygen and nutrients.

Abstract Droplet‐based bioprinting has shown remarkable potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, it requires bioinks with low viscosities, which makes challenging to create complex 3D structures spatially pattern them different materials.

By leveraging the benefits of cryopreservation, we fabricated, for first time, intricate, self‐supporting...
Active nutrient supply and waste product removal are key requirements for the fabrication of long-term viable functional tissue constructs considerable size.

The process results in prescribed lumen between two hydrogel layers, allowing its integration common layering processes. Low volume...
Introduction: Three-dimensional bioprinting can be considered as an advancement of the classical tissue engineering concept. For bioprinting, cells have to dispersed in hydrogels. Recently, a novel semi-synthetic thiolene hydrogel system based on norbornene-functionalized gelatin (GelNB) and thiolated (GelS) was described that resulted photoclick GelNB/GelS. In this study, we evaluated printability biocompatibility towards adipose-tissue-derived mesenchymal stem (ASCs). Methods: GelNB/GelS...
