Bioprinting
We
define bioprinting as a technology wherein multicellular aggregates are
delivered by special purpose “bioprinters” with high precision into
biocompatible scaffolds to form three dimensional tissue constructs of
specified geometry. Our delivery devices presently are the linear
cell aggregate dispenser mounted on a computer controlled 3D robotic
device. We have printed toroidal cellular patterns and are currently
printing tubular and cuboidal constructs. These studies are
supplemented with computer simulations
