Synthetic 3D extracellular matrices (ECMs) find application in cell studies, regenerative
medicine, and drug discovery. While cells cultured in a monolayer may exhibit unnatural …

Solid organs transport fluids through distinct vascular networks that are biophysically and
biochemically entangled, creating complex three-dimensional (3D) transport regimes that …

The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function
in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the …

Abstract 3D bioprinting involves the combination of 3D printing technologies with cells,
growth factors and biomaterials, and has been considered as one of the most advanced …

Much of our understanding of the biological mechanisms that underlie cellular functions,
such as migration, differentiation and force-sensing has been garnered from studying cells …

Although cell–matrix adhesive interactions are known to regulate stem cell differentiation,
the underlying mechanisms, in particular for direct three-dimensional encapsulation within …

This article summarizes the recent progress in the design and synthesis of hydrogels as
tissue-engineering scaffolds. Hydrogels are attractive scaffolding materials owing to their …

Sacrificial templates for patterning perfusable vascular networks in engineered tissues have
been constrained in architectural complexity, owing to the limitations of extrusion-based 3D …
