Hydrogels, due to their unique biocompatibility, flexible methods of synthesis, range of
constituents, and desirable physical characteristics, have been the material of choice for …

Solid organs transport fluids through distinct vascular networks that are biophysically and
biochemically entangled, creating complex three-dimensional (3D) transport regimes that …

The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function
in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the …

Hydrogels are the most relevant biochemical scaffold due to their tunable properties,
inherent biocompatibility, and similarity with tissue and cell environments. Over the past …

Designing of biologically active scaffolds with optimal characteristics is one of the key factors
for successful tissue engineering. Recently, hydrogels have received a considerable interest …

Additive manufacturing techniques offer the potential to fabricate organized tissue constructs
to repair or replace damaged or diseased human tissues and organs. Using these …
