Periodic Reporting for period 3 - THIRST (Third Strategy in Tissue Engineering – Functional microfabricated multicellular spheroid carriers for tissue engineering and regeneration)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2021-05-01 do 2022-10-31
The overarching aim of the project is to develop a new technological platform sufficiently versatile to potentially address a wide range of current TE challenges. The concept of this third tissue engineering strategy (THIRST) relies on a directed tissue assembly from multicellular spheroids encaged within robust 3D printed microscaffolds. In contrast to the two most widespread approaches, namely scaffold-based and a scaffold-free approach, this project aims to develop a radically new strategy combining the advantages of the two approaches.
