4D Bioprinting: Programming Self-Organization to Engineer Biological TissuesFriday, 18 March 2016 at 09:00  Add to Calendar ▼2016-03-18 09:00:002016-03-18 10:00:00Europe/London4D Bioprinting: Programming Self-Organization to Engineer Biological TissuesSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.comBioprinting has been defined as “the use of computer-aided transfer processes for patterning and assembling living and non-living materials with a prescribed 2D or 3D organization in order to produce bio-engineered structures serving in regenerative medicine, pharmacokinetic and basic cell biology studies”. From a technological point of view, the Laser-Assisted Bioprinting (LAB) technology has emerged as an alternative method to inkjet and bioextrusion methods, thereby overcoming some of their limitations (namely clogging of print heads or capillaries) to pattern living cells and biomaterials with a micron-scale resolution and high cell viability. By harnessing this high cell printing resolution, we observe that tissue self-organization depends on the cell patterns initially printed by LAB, as well as cell types. We introduce from experiments performed in vitro and in vivo the 4D Bioprinting paradigm. |
