Additive manufacturing (AM), which is based on the principle of layer-by-layer shaping and stacking discrete materials, has shown significant benefits in fabrication complicated implants for tissue engineering (TE). However, many native tissues exhibit anisotropic heterogenous constructs with diverse components functions. Consequently, replication biomimetic using conventional AM processes a single material challenging. Multimaterial 3D 4D bioprinting (with time as fourth dimension) emerged promising solution constructing multifunctional that can mimic host microenvironment better than single-material alternatives. Notably, 4D-printed multimaterial architectures provide time-dependent programmable dynamic promote cell activity regeneration response to external stimuli. This paper first presents typical design strategies TE applications. Subsequently, latest are discussed, along their advantages challenges. In particular, potential smart highlighted. Furthermore, this review provides insights into how facilitate realization next-generation

Human brain organoids (hBOs) are in vitro, 3D, self-organizing tissue structures increasingly used for modeling development and disease. Although they traditionally lack vasculature, recent bioengineering developments enable their vascularization, which partly recapitulates neurodevelopmental processes such as neural tube angiogenesis, formation of neurovascular unit (NVU)-like structures, early barriergenesis. vascularized hBOs (vhBOs) already to model (defects in) development, vascularization efficiency other outcomes differ substantially between protocols overall shortcomings should be considered. For instance, vessel-like vhBOs do not contain blood-like flow nor form a functional blood-brain barrier (BBB). Extended characterization, standardization, the new techniques may broader applications drug transport studies.

Abstract Multicellular spheroids such as microtissues and organoids have demonstrated great potential for tissue engineering applications in recent years these 3D cellular units enable improved cell–cell cell–matrix interactions. Current bioprinting processes that use multicellular building blocks limited control on post printing distribution of cell or moderate throughput efficiency. In this work, we presented a laser-assisted approach able to transfer larger structures. Cartilaginous formed by human periosteum derived cells (hPDCs) were successfully bioprinted possessing high viability the capacity undergo chondrogenic differentiation printing. Smaller hPDC with diameters ranging from ∼100 150 µ m through laser-induced forward method (LIFT) however constituted challenge. For reason novel alternative was developed termed laser induced propulsion mesoscopic objects (LIPMO) whereby bioprint up 300 m. Moreover, combined process computer aided image analysis demonstrating ‘target shoot’, automated selection, multiple large single sequence. By taking advantage target shoot system, multilayered constructs containing density fabricated.
