Even with many advances in treatment over the past decades, cancer still remains a leading
cause of death worldwide. Despite the recognized relationship between metastasis and …

The development of cell printing is vital for establishing biofabrication approaches as
clinically relevant tools. Achieving this requires bio-inks which must not only be easily …

We have developed a multi-material 3D printing platform that is high-resolution, low-cost,
and extensible. The key part of our platform is an integrated machine vision system. This …

The quest to 'forward-engineer'and fabricate biological machines remains a grand
challenge. Towards this end, we have fabricated locomotive “bio-bots” from hydrogels and …

Drop-on-demand bioprinting allows the controlled placement of living cells, and will benefit
research in the fields of tissue engineering, drug screening and toxicology. We show that a …

Cell-based biohybrid actuators are integrated systems that use biological components
including proteins and cells to power material components by converting chemical energy to …

Bioprinting is a process of precisely designed scaffolds using three-dimensional printing
technologies for functional tissue engineering utilizing cell-laden biomaterials as bioink. A …

Three-dimensional printing or additive manufacturing is a process of producing three-
dimensional solid objects from a software design. Color and material limitations for …

As defined by Park & Lakes (2007), a biomaterial is a material that replaces either a tissue
within the body or a function of the body. The development of novel biomaterials is an …

Most current applications of biomaterials involve structural functions, even in those organs
and systems that are not primarily structural in their nature, or very simple chemical or …
