3D BIOPRINTING OF HUMAN SOFT TISSUES

Joint Event on World Congress on BIOCHEMISTRY AND ENZYMOLOGY & 2^nd Global Conference on TISSUE ENGINEERING AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE, STEM CELL RESEARCH
March 25-26, 2019 | Amsterdam, Netherlands

Abstract:

3D Bioprinting has gained attention in tissue engineering due to its ability to spatially control the placement of cells, biomaterials and biological molecules. The development of new hydrogel bioinks with good printability and bioactive properties has made it possible to 3D bioprint and accelerate the maturation of complex 3D tissue-like models. In this talk, we present our recent work in bioink development for 3D bioprinting and culture of healthy tissues such as skin, bone and cartilage, as well as cancer tissues, such as breast cancer and osteosarcoma tissue models.
