The survival of vertebrate organisms depends on highly regulated delivery of oxygen and
nutrients through vascular networks that pervade nearly all tissues in the body …

The definitive treatment for end-stage organ failure is orthotopic transplantation. However,
the demand for transplantation far exceeds the number of available donor organs. A …

This study was designed to develop a versatile method for fabricating complex and
heterogeneous three-dimensional (3D) tissue constructs using simultaneous ink-jetting of …

Over the years, various liver-derived in vitro model systems have been developed to enable
investigation of the potential adverse effects of chemicals and drugs. Liver tissue slices …

Hydrophilic polymers are the center of research emphasis in nanotechnology because of
their perceived “intelligence”. They can be used as thin films, scaffolds, or nanoparticles in a …

In situ, cells are highly sensitive to geometrical and mechanical constraints from their
microenvironment. These parameters are, however, uncontrolled under classic culture …

▪ Abstract Soft lithography, a set of techniques for microfabrication, is based on printing and
molding using elastomeric stamps with the patterns of interest in bas-relief. As a technique …

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary field. It has shown great
promise in generating living alternatives for harvested tissues and organs for transplantation …

Microscale technologies are emerging as powerful tools for tissue engineering and
biological studies. In this review, we present an overview of these technologies in various …

Co-culture techniques find myriad applications in biology for studying natural or synthetic
interactions between cell populations. Such techniques are of great importance in synthetic …
