Join us for a webinar exploring innovative techniques in scaffold-free tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. Our session begins with a focus on mimicking tissue formation through cell condensation, traditionally simplified to spheres or sheets. We'll discuss three technologies: hydrogel molds for modular tissue building blocks, a bioprinting platform for intricate cell-only bioink structures, and innovations in 4D constructs that adapt over time. Next, discover TissueFab®, a versatile bioink platform designed to enhance regenerative medicine and drug discovery by supporting diverse cell types and bioprinting platforms.
Key learnings include:
- Understanding the use of hydrogel molds for assembling multi-tissue organs
- Exploring bioprinting platforms for intricate cell-only bioink structures
- Employing 4D strategies to fabricate dynamic, high cell density constructs
- Leveraging TissueFab® bioinks to support diverse cell types and bioprinting platforms, facilitating in-vitro models for drug screening
