3D Bioplotter Research Papers

The construction of three-dimensional (3D) in vitro lung tissue models mimicking the physiological structure of the native lung poses a huge challenge in tissue engineering. While advances in bioprinting technology has made fabrication of 3D lung models feasible, the bioinks and printed constructs often fall short in achieving desired mechanical and biological properties. Toward this, we aimed to develop a novel bioink and use it to print and characterize in vitro 3D lung models with living cells. We generated porcine lung extracellular matrix (LdECM) which was then strategically combined with other hydrogels – alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and collagen, to synthesize…

Tissue engineering offers a great potential in regenerative dentistry and to this end, three dimensional (3D) bioprinting has been emerging nowadays to enable the incorporation of living cells into the biomaterials (such a mixture is referred as a bioink in the literature) to create scaffolds. However, the bioinks available for scaffold bioprinting are limited, particularly for dental tissue engineering, due to the complicated, yet compromised, printability, mechanical and biological properties simultaneously imposed on the bioinks. This paper presents our study on the development of a novel bioink from carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and alginate (Alg) for bioprinting scaffolds for enamel tissue…
