T-PS09 Biofabrication of Anisotropy

rapid fire talk

Introduction
Two main technologies of Biofabrication are bioprinting and scaffold generation. [1] Bioprinting can be used with cells in the matrix, while scaffold generation is cell-free and cells are attached afterwards. Both have their distinct advantages, e.g. bioprinting enables the generation of complex tissue hierarchies in one step, while scaffolds can guide cell elongation via...

530. Advanced 3D Bioprinted Hydrogels as In Vitro Platforms for Breast Cancer Microenvironment Modeling

T-PS13 Biofabrication strategies for engineering microarchitectural complexity

rapid fire talk

Introduction
Breast cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide [1,2]. Conventional 2D cultures and animal models fall short in accurately replicating the breast tumor microenvironment, often lacking translational relevance [3]. The development of three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models through hydrogel-based bioprinting offers a promising...

531. From Ink to Organ Function: Advanced Strategies for the Vascularization of Bioprinted Bionic Organs

Palina Milewska (Polbionica lnc.)

T-PS06 Advancing Biofabrication for Regenerative Medicine: From Innovation to Clinical Translation

rapid fire talk

Introduction
One of the most significant challenges in organ bioengineering is developing functional vascular networks. Proper vascularization is critical for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and signaling molecules, while also removing waste. In bionic organs, poor vessel formation limits nutrient exchange and cell migration, reducing transplant quality and long-term survival [1], [2]. The...

532. Brain-on-Chip of the 3D Blood–Brain Barrier (BBB) model for Studies of Permeability, Neuroinflammation and Drug Response

Pawel Romanczuk (Warsaw University of Technology)

T-PS29 New approaches in tissue engineering

rapid fire talk

Introduction
Depression affects over 350 million individuals globally, with 20–30% developing treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a major contributor to suicide risk. Existing preclinical models inadequately recapitulate the complexity of the human neurovascular unit (NVU) and blood–brain barrier (BBB), thereby limiting the advancement of effective therapeutics. The objective of this study...
