Biofabrication

Aims & Scope

Biofabrication focuses on cutting-edge research regarding the use of cells, proteins, biological materials and biomaterials as building blocks to manufacture biological systems and/or therapeutic products.

Emphasis is on the development of fabrication technologies, modelling of the fabricated constructs and maturation of biofabricated objects towards the intended tissue types.

It includes the following topics: Cell, tissue and organ printing, patterning and assembly for in vitro cell models and tissue models for tissue precursors, analogs and substitutes as disease models as drug/toxicological screening models Biofabricated cell/biological material-integrated systems and medical devices biochips and biosensors cell-laden microfluidic devices cell/tissue/lab/organ-on-a-chip Novel 3D tissue scaffold fabrication convergence of (bio)fabrication technologies novel processes for complex scaffolds and surface engineering bioactive and bioinspired tissue scaffolds engineering 'active and reactive' interfaces within hierarchical structures direct and indirect fabrication methods...etc.
