TL;DR: Fibres encapsulating primary pancreatic islet cells and transplanted through a microcatheter into the subrenal capsular space of diabetic mice normalized blood glucose concentrations for about two weeks and may find use as templates for the reconstruction of fibre-shaped functional tissues that mimic muscle fibres, blood vessels or nerve networks in vivo.

TL;DR: This paper designed, fabricated, and fabricated a dynamic microarrays platform to transport and immobilize particles, infuse reagents, observe the reaction, and retrieve selected particles in a single integrated device through the combination of hydrodynamic and optical approaches.

TL;DR: A refined working definition of Biofabrication is proposed, including Bioprinting and Bioassembly as complementary strategies within Biofabrica, with special focus on its relation to and application for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine.

TL;DR: A simple but general definition of bioinks is proposed, and its distinction from biomaterial inks is clarified, to briefly summarize the historic evolution of this term within the field of biofabrication.
