Abstract:formed tubular and glomerular-like structures at 1 and 2 months postsurgery. The bioprinted renal constructs exhibited the structural and functional characteristics of the native renal tissue.CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated the potential of the tissuespecific ECM-derived bioink for cell-based bioprinting that could enhance cellular maturation and eventually tissue formation. 3D bioprinting strategy with kidney-specific ECM bioink has excellent potential to bioengineer a functional renal tissue construct in future… Show more
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.
