3D Bioprinting of Complex Biological Structures with Tunable Properties

Abstract This research paper focuses on the use of the Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) printing method to fabricate complex structures with tunable elastic modulus and porosity. Currently, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has been widely used to construct hard tissues such as bone and cartilage. However, constructing soft tissues with complex structures remains a … Read more
