Biofabrication of complex and vascularized tissues via hybrid bioprinting KU Leuven
The biofabrication of 3D biomimetic tissue analogs, which accurately mimic the properties of native tissue, have an enormous potential in biomedical applications (drug discovery, cancer research, regenerative medicine,…). A basic prerequisite for the survival, maturation and function of 3D engineered tissues is the establishment of blood vessels. The most critical challenge in complex tissue engineering is the integration of a hierarchical ...
