4D Printing of Human Vascularized Cardiac Tissues
Conventional 3D bioprinting cannot reliably generate true capillary-scale networks with precise spatial control under cell‑compatible conditions. This technology introduces a one‑step, multi‑kinetic 4D bioprinting platform that prints multiple cell‑laden bioinks in a single process and then triggers coordinated, selective shrinkage of pre‑designed vessels down to capillary dimensions under physiological conditions. Technology Description A thermo‑responsive, cell‑friendly […] Read More >
Biocompatible Reinforcement of Cellularized Tissues Using Small Molecule Crosslinkers
Existing chemical crosslinking methods such as UV-based, genipin or enzymatic are often cytotoxic and incompatible with the presence of living cells, or result in inhomogeneous reinforcement (primarily surface over core). Moreover, reinforcing ECM whilst ensuring uniform cell viability and spatial distribution in thick tissues remains challenging, particularly when robust mechanical properties are needed post-fabrication. Technology […] Read More >
Eco-Friendly, Lignin-free Cellulose Scaffolds from Green Macroalgae for Biomedical Applications
Unmet Need • Sustainability: there is a need for materials supply that is both biocompatible and eco-friendly • Engineering constraints: many available cellulose scaffolds lack tunable structural features (e.g., pore size, fiber orientation) that closely mimic native extracellular matrices (ECM) for specific tissue engineering uses • Cost: bacterial cellulose (used for wound dressings and tissue […] Read More >
