Biomimetic materials have emerged as attractive and competitive alternatives for tissue
engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine. In contrast to conventional biomaterials or …

The application of scaffolding materials is believed to hold enormous potential for tissue
regeneration. Despite the widespread application and rapid advance of several tissue …

Engineered cardiac tissues derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells offer unique
opportunities for patient-specific disease modeling, drug discovery and cardiac repair. Since …

Patient-specific ex vivo models of human tumours that recapitulate the pathological
characteristics and complex ecology of native tumours could help determine the most …

In tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, a biomaterial provides mechanical support
and biochemical signals to encourage cell attachment and modulate cell behaviour …

The ECM (extracellular matrix) network plays a crucial role in cardiac homeostasis, not only
by providing structural support, but also by facilitating force transmission, and by transducing …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex network with multiple functions, including
specific functions during tissue regeneration. Precisely, the properties of the ECM have been …

The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function
in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the …

Creating functional tissues and organs in vitro on demand is a major goal in biofabrication,
but the ability to replicate the external geometry of specific organs and their internal …

This paper discusses “bioink”, bioprintable materials used in three dimensional (3D)
bioprinting processes, where cells and other biologics are deposited in a spatially controlled …
