This study uses volumetric bioprinting to enable post-printing optogenetic stimulation of cells within hydrogel constructs, demonstrating spatial control over light-responsive proteins and gene expression.

This paper introduces AddGraft, a biocompatible additive enabling spatiotemporal modification of hydrogel properties for 3D tissue engineering.

This paper develops a method to create multi-scale vascular networks in hydrogels using volumetric bioprinting and phase separation, enabling capillary-like structures for nutrient delivery.

This study shows that nanofibrillar cellulose hydrogels preserve T cell function better than Matrigel or basement membrane extract in 3D cultures.

This paper introduces a light-sensitive hyaluronic acid hydrogel for 3D cell culturing, differentiation, and harvesting of mesenchymal stromal cells, showing it can modulate cell behavior through light exposure.

This paper develops tunable bioresins for volumetric bioprinting, enabling multi-material and multi-cellular constructs for tissue engineering.

This paper introduces a hybrid biomaterial that enhances cell migration and self-assembly in bioprinted constructs, enabling complex tissue-like structures with improved vascular network formation.

This paper develops tunable macroporous hydrogels via phase separation for cell culture, showing improved cell spreading and migration in porous systems.

This study develops hepatocyte-like liver organoids (HeLLOs) that closely mimic mature hepatocyte functions and outperform existing models in drug toxicity testing and disease modeling.
