Tissue engineering (TE) is a highly interdisciplinary research field driven by the goal to
restore, replace, or regenerate defective tissues. Throughout more than two decades of …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) has pleiotropic effects, ranging from cell adhesion to cell
survival. In tissue engineering, the use of ECM and ECM-like scaffolds has separated the …

Cellular spheroids are aggregates of cells that are being explored to address fundamental
biological questions and as building blocks for engineered tissues. Spheroids possess …

Biomimetic scaffolds mimic important features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture
and can be finely controlled at the nano‐or microscale for tissue engineering. Rational …

Multiscale, hierarchically patterned surfaces, such as lotus leaves, butterfly wings, adhesion
pads of gecko lizards are abundantly found in nature, where microstructures are usually …

Cell spheroids (esp. organoids) as 3D culture platforms are popular models for representing
cell–cell and cell–extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions, bridging the gap between 2D cell …

Advances introduced by additive manufacturing (AM) have significantly improved the control
over the microarchitecture of scaffolds for tissue engineering. This has led to the flourishing …

The in vivo efficacy of engineered tissue constructs depends largely on their integration with
the host vasculature. Prevascularisation has been noted to facilitate integration of the …

Tissue spheroids have been proposed as building blocks in 3D biofabrication. Conventional
magnetic force-driven 2D patterning of tissue spheroids requires prior cell labeling by …

A spheroid is a complex, spherical cellular aggregate supporting cell-cell and cell-matrix
interactions in an environment that mimics the real-world situation. In terms of tissue …
