Bone tissue engineering for tissue fabrication
This study proposes the development of functional bioinks by integrating human-derived osteomyocytes and osteofibroblasts into extracellular matrices such as GelMA, collagen, and Matrigel. Utilizing a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) bioprinting technique, we aim to fabricate 3D tissue constructs ranging from millimeters to centimeters. The biofabricated tissues will undergo comprehensive analysis, focusing on cell viability, toxicity, proliferation, maturation, and growth. Subsequent phases may involve monitoring these constructs for drug screening applications. An additional goal is to optimize the process to enhance the functionality and autonomy of the fabricated tissue systems.
