Three-dimensional bioprinting using self-assembling scalable scaffold-free “tissue strands” as a new bioink

Recent advances in bioprinting have granted tissue engineers the ability to assemble biomaterials, cells, and signaling molecules into anatomically relevant functional tissues or organ parts. Scaffold-free fabrication has recently attracted a great deal of interest due to the ability to recapitulate...
