Topic title：3D Bioprinting of Cell-laden Hydrogels: towards Generalization and Simplicity
Abstract：Despite the plethora of bioinks and bioprinting strategies under development in the biofabrication field, their application from bench to bedside is still hindered through their lack of standardization and generalization. One of the next steps for 3D bioprinting is to generalize and simplify the technologies towards a standard and easy-to-use platform for biomedical applications. Therefore, we are dedicated to investigating generalizable strategies for advanced biofabrication, taking extrusion-based bioprinting as an example. To better understand the nature of extrusion-based bioprinting, we start by analyzing the general criteria for each stage in the whole route. [1] We studied different bioinks with various gelation properties, including guest-host self-assembly [2], thermal gelation [3], and photo-crosslinking [4]. In this talk, we will provide several examples of how we can process these materials in the context of direct cell printing. With these studies, we hope to communicate a better understanding of the interplay between bioinks and the printing process, which might contribute to the generalization and simplicity of bioprinting technique.
