Microflake Hydrogel for 4D Bioprinting
June 14, 2022 | Terry Sharrer
“This bioink system [from bioengineers at the University of Illinois, Chicago] provides the opportunity to print bioconstructs capable of achieving more sophisticated architectural changes over time than was previously possible. These cell-rich structures with pre-programmable and controllable shape morphing promise to better mimic the body’s natural developmental processes and could help scientists conduct more accurate studies of tissue morphogenesis and achieve greater advances in tissue engineering, . . . ” MORE
