Bioprinting is a technology that allows making complex tissues from the bottom-up. The need to control accurately both the resolution of the printed droplet and the precision of its positioning was reported. Using a bioink with 1 × 108 cells/mL, we present evidence that the laser-assisted bioprinter (LAB) can deposit droplets of functional mesenchymal stem cells with a resolution of 138 ± 28 μm and a precision of 16 ± 13 μm. We demonstrate that this high printing definition is maintained in three dimensions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
