Journal ArticleDOI
Microfluidic-enhanced 3D bioprinting of aligned myoblast-laden hydrogels leads to functionally organized myofibers in vitro and in vivo
Marco Costantini,Stefano Testa,Pamela Mozetic,Andrea Barbetta,Claudia Fuoco,Ersilia Fornetti,Francesco Tamiro,Sergio Bernardini,Jakub Jaroszewicz,Wojciech Święszkowski,Marcella Trombetta,Luisa Castagnoli,Dror Seliktar,Piotr Garstecki,Gianni Cesareni,Stefano Cannata,Alberto Rainer,Cesare Gargioli +17 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate an enhanced myogenic differentiation with the formation of parallel aligned long-range myotubes within the 3D bioprinted fibers, further revealing maturation, sarcomerogenesis, and functionality.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D bioprinting of hydrogel constructs with cell and material gradients for the regeneration of full-thickness chondral defect using a microfluidic printing head.
Joanna Idaszek,Marco Costantini,Marco Costantini,Marco Costantini,Tommy A. Karlsen,Jakub Jaroszewicz,Cristina Colosi,Stefano Testa,Ersilia Fornetti,Sergio Bernardini,Martyna Seta,Kaja Kasarello,Robert Wrzesień,Stefano Cannata,Andrea Barbetta,Cesare Gargioli,Jan E Brinchman,Wojciech Święszkowski +17 more
TL;DR: Tissue engineered biomaterials that mimic the zonal cartilage organization and extracellular matrix composition are proposed through the use of a microfluidic printing head bearing a mixing unit and incorporated into an extrusion-based bioprinter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tendon Tissue Engineering: Effects of Mechanical and Biochemical Stimulation on Stem Cell Alignment on Cell-Laden Hydrogel Yarns
Chiara Rinoldi,Marco Costantini,Marco Costantini,Ewa Kijeńska-Gawrońska,Stefano Testa,Ersilia Fornetti,Marcin Heljak,Monika Ćwiklińska,Robert Buda,Jacopo Baldi,Stefano Cannata,Jan Guzowski,Cesare Gargioli,Ali Khademhosseini,Ali Khademhosseini,Wojciech Swieszkowski +15 more
TL;DR: The obtained results suggest that the proposed 3D cell‐laden aligned system can be used for engineering of scaffolds for tendon regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering Muscle Networks in 3D Gelatin Methacryloyl Hydrogels: Influence of Mechanical Stiffness and Geometrical Confinement
Marco Costantini,Stefano Testa,Ersilia Fornetti,Andrea Barbetta,Marcella Trombetta,Stefano Cannata,Cesare Gargioli,Alberto Rainer +7 more
TL;DR: The obtained results showed that by reducing the cross section, myotubes were more closely packed and formed aligned myostructures that better mimicked the native morphology of skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combination of biochemical and mechanical cues for tendon tissue engineering.
Stefano Testa,Marco Costantini,Ersilia Fornetti,Sergio Bernardini,Marcella Trombetta,Dror Seliktar,Stefano Cannata,Alberto Rainer,Cesare Gargioli +8 more
TL;DR: The proposed method represents a novel approach for tendon tissue engineering, demonstrating how the combined effect of biochemical and mechanical stimuli ameliorates biological and mechanical properties of the artificial tissue compared to those obtained with single inducement.
