Abstract Synopsis

  • The ITOP is a 3D bioprinting system designed to create large, anatomically accurate tissue constructs with built-in microchannels for nutrient diffusion, addressing the challenge of producing stable, vascularized tissues of clinically relevant size.
  • It achieves structural stability by printing cell-laden hydrogels combined with biodegradable polymers and anchored on sacrificial hydrogels, allowing the formation of complex shapes based on medical imaging data.
  • The system has successfully printed various tissues like bone, cartilage, and muscle, with future goals to develop more complex tissues and organs suitable for human medical applications.]
