Bioprinting: High‐Resolution Projection Microstereolithography for Patterning of Neovasculature (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 5/2016)

Abstract

On page 610, R. Bashir and co-workers present a novel projection stereolithographic 3D printer capable of high-resolution patterning of living cells encapsulated within biocompatible hydrogels. Angiogenic cell-encapsulating patches fabricated using this printer can be used to encourage the growth of neovasculature on chick embryos, highlighting one of many possible biomedical applications for this 3D printing technology.
