TL;DR: Electrospinning is a versatile technique in tissue engineering for the production of scaffolds that enables cell proliferation and ingrowth, whereas fiber diameter predominantly influences cell fate, and pore size is far more relevant as a structural parameter than previously recognized.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that laser printing does not cause any cell damage; laser-printed MSC grafts can be differentiated toward bone and cartilage; LIFT allows printing of cell densities high enough for the promotion of chondrogenesis; and with LIFT three-dimensional scaffold-free autologous tissue graftscan be fabricated keeping their predefined structure.

TL;DR: The multi-sample freezing device presented in this paper, the ice nucleus is produced in a separate volume of pure water inside an electrode cap, which means that the nucleus formation becomes independent of the sample composition, and allows automated freezing of many samples under equal conditions.

TL;DR: An overview on some of the current approaches for the formulation of poorly water‐soluble drugs with a special focus on strategies pursued at the Center of Pharmaceutical Engineering of the TU Braunschweig is provided.

TL;DR: The main aim of this review is to summarize the basic principles of electrospinning as well as the most recent developments regarding biomedical engineering, focusing on drug delivery.
