Provides an up-to-date outline of cell assembly methods and applications of 3D bioprinting

Cell Assembly with 3D Bioprinting provides an accesible overview of the layer-by-layer manufacturing of living structures using biomaterials. Focusing on technical implemention in medical and bioengineering applications, this practical guide summarize each key aspect of the 3D bioprinting process. Contributions from a team of leading researchers describe bioink preparation, printing method selection, experimental protocols, integration with specific applications, and more. 

Detailed, highly illustrated chapters cover different bioprinting approaches and their applications, including coaxial bioprinting, digital light projection, direct ink writing, liquid support bath-assisted 3D printing, and microgel-, microfiber-, and microfluidics-based biofabrication. The book includes practical examples of 3D bioprinting, a protocol for typical 3D bioprinting, and relevant experimental data drawn from recent research.

* Highlights the interdisciplinary nature of 3D bioprinting and its applications in biology, medicine, and pharmaceutical science
