The inkjet technique has the capability of generating droplets in the picoliter volume range,
firing thousands of times in a few seconds and printing in the noncontact manner. Since its …

Abstract 3D Printing promises to produce complex biomedical devices according to
computer design using patient-specific anatomical data. Since its initial use as pre-surgical …

With the advent of additive manufacturing technologies in the mid 1980s, many applications
benefited from the faster processing of products without the need for specific tooling or dies …

This review encompasses the most important advances in liver functions and hepatotoxicity
and analyzes which mechanisms can be studied in vitro. In a complex architecture of nested …

Nearly 30 years ago, we reported on a concept now known as Tissue Engineering. Here, we
report on some of the advances in this now thriving area of research. In particular, significant …

Tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds have enormous significance for the possibility of
regeneration of complex tissue structures or even whole organs. Three-dimensional (3D) …

Over the years, various liver-derived in vitro model systems have been developed to enable
investigation of the potential adverse effects of chemicals and drugs. Liver tissue slices …

Tissue engineering can be used to restore, maintain, or enhance tissues and organs. The
potential impact of this field, however, is far broader—in the future, engineered tissues could …

In vitro tissue/organ models are useful platforms that can facilitate systematic, repetitive, and
quantitative investigations of drugs/chemicals. The primary objective when develo** …

All procedures that restore missing tissue in patients require some type of replacement
structure for the area of defect or injury. This form of therapy accounts for a large part of …
