INTRODUCTION
A sustainable alternative to traditional meat is cultivated meat, which is the growth of animal muscle tissue in laboratories. This technology aims to create a cell-laden product that replicates the texture, composition, and structure of conventional meat.[1] However, the hydrogels commonly used in tissue engineering techniques, whether as cast scaffolds or bioinks, often lack...
3D bioprinting is a key methodology in biofabrication, enabling precise spatial placement of cellular, polymeric, organic, and inorganic components to construct three-dimensional biological structures. Extrusion-based bioprinting is widely used, as it supports the printing of hydrogels across a broad viscosity range, accommodates the inclusion of cells and cell spheroids for large-scale...

Introduction: The development of biofabrication requires reliable and standardized methods for quantifying a wide range of printing techniques and tissue models to ensure a successful translation into medical applications. With the rise of convergence and the integration of multiple materials, printing processes are becoming increasingly complex, posing challenges for structural analysis....
Introduction:
On-chip vascular microfluidic models provide powerful platforms for studying vasculature and its diseases in vitro. These models enable focused investigation of specific vascular layers, such as the endothelium, and the influence of hemodynamics on it. While traditional plastics or glass-based fabrication allows for defined microchannel architecture, its inherent stiffness and...
Tendon tissue engineering remains a critical challenge due to the need for biomaterials that simultaneously support mechanical load bearing and guide lineage specific cellular differentiation. To address this, we designed a hybrid scaffold system that spatially integrates mechanical reinforcement and tenogenic bioactivity, aiming to mimic native tendon properties more closely than conventional...
