The paper models how coral host pigments affect light propagation and tissue heating, showing distinct roles of chromoproteins and fluorescent proteins in energy distribution and heat generation.

This study uses computational modeling and 3D bioprinting to design microalgal structures that enhance growth rates and photosynthetic efficiency compared to flat slabs.

The paper presents a pipeline for 3D bioprinting microalgal constructs and simulating their photosynthetic performance using functional imaging and non-invasive techniques.
