| Abstract Scope |
Creating tissue and organ equivalents with intricate architectures and multi-scale functional feature sizes is the first step towards the reconstruction of transplantable human tissues and organs. Existing embedded ink writing approaches are limited by achievable feature sizes ranging from hundreds of microns to tens of millimeters, which hinders their ability to accurately duplicate structures found in various human tissues and organs. In this study, a multi-scale embedded 3D printing strategy is developed, in which a stimuli-responsive yield-stress fluid is used to facilitate the printing process. Human tissue and organ equivalents with the functional feature sizes ranging from microns to centimeters are successfully. The proposed method provides a viable and reliable technical solution for tissue and organ printing in the future. |
