Abstract 3D bioprinting is a pioneering technology that enables fabrication of biomimetic,
multiscale, multi-cellular tissues with highly complex tissue microenvironment, intricate …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture has tremendous advantages to closely mimic
the in vivo architecture and microenvironment of healthy tissue and organs, as well as of …

Analogies with inert soft condensed matter—such as viscoelastic liquids, pastes, foams,
emulsions, colloids, and polymers—can be used to investigate the mechanical response of …

The spreading of one embryonic tissue over another, the sorting out of their cells when
intermixed and the formation of intertissue boundaries respected by the motile border cells …

The traditional picture of tissues, where they are treated as liquids defined by properties
such as surface tension or viscosity has been redefined during the last few decades by the …

Spherical cellular aggregates are in vitro systems to study the physical and biophysical
properties of tissues. We present a novel approach to characterize the mechanical …

Recent observations demonstrate that confluent tissues exhibit features of glassy dynamics,
such as caging behavior and dynamical heterogeneities, although it has remained unclear …

Although rigidity and jamming transitions have been widely studied in physics and material
science, their importance in a number of biological processes, including embryo …

This course shows the ways that 3D printing and 3D bioprinting are revolutionizing the
available treatments available for medical needs. 3D bioprinting requires collaboration …

Cell aggregates are a tool for in vitro studies of morphogenesis, cancer invasion, and tissue
engineering. They respond to mechanical forces as a complex rather than simple liquid. To …
