Facile Bioprinting Process for Fabricating Size-Controllable Functional Microtissues Using Light-Activated Decellularized Extracellular Matrix-Based Bioinks (Adv. Mater. Technol. 1/2022)

Microscale Bioprinting Process Jinah Jang and colleagues develop a microscale bioprinting process using light-activated decellularized extracellular matrix-based bioinks in article number 2100947. The bioprinting process enables the fabrication of size-controllable spheroidal and tubular tissue constructs at the microscale without cumbersome steps, such as washing, solution replacement, and post-crosslinking. The bioprinted microtissues can support cellular activities and tissue maturation with tissue-specific physiological significance.
