Topic title：Multiscale additive manufacturing for biomedical applications
Abstract：

The application of additive manufacturing (AM) in biomedical and tissue engineering fields enables to fabricate artificial constructs with biomimetic internal microstructures, which could potentially enhance their biological functions in vitro and in vivo. Here we will introduce our latest development on multiscale bio-additive manufacturing techniques. In the first part, a new strategy was presented to design and fabricate biodegradable tissue-engineering scaffolds with highly tunable mechanical properties for soft tissue engineering applications. The resultant scaffolds such as airway splints, porous breast scaffolds have been finally used for clinical trials. In the second part, we will introduce our latest micro/nanoscale electrohydrodynamic printing strategies to fabricate high-resolution fibrous structures as well as living tissue constructs. We mainly investigate the relationship between scaffold structures and cellular performance and the ultimate goal is to fabricate living tissue-engineered constructs with enhanced regeneration capacity.
