A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego has made significant advances in solving some of the most vexing challenges in bioprinting 3D-engineered tissues while meeting the key requirements of high cell density, high cell viability and fine fabrication resolution.

The research led by nanoengineers at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering was published in the February 22, 2023 issue of Science Advances.

Bioprinting is based on 3D-printing technology, using cells and biopolymer to create biological structures and tissues. 3D-engineered tissues—lab-created yet functional human-like tissues made of living cells and biomaterial scaffolds—have great potential for biomedical applications, including drug testing and development, organ transplants, regenerative medicine, personalized medicine, disease modeling, and more. Their uses could...
