Organ printing: tissue spheroids as building blocks (original) (raw)

The paper explores the innovative approach of organ printing that utilizes self-assembled tissue spheroids as building blocks to create functional biological structures. It discusses the limitations of traditional scaffold-based methods in tissue engineering and presents a biomimetic strategy inspired by developmental biology. The objective is to advance biofabrication technologies by improving vascularization and functionality in engineered tissues, ultimately contributing to regenerative medicine and organ replacement.
