Yu Zhou,Jiang Wang,Zhanni Gu,Shuni Wang,Wei Zhu,José Luis Aceña,Vadim A. Soloshonok,Kunisuke Izawa,Hong Liu +8 more
TL;DR: Compounds Currently in Phase II−III Clinical Trials of Major Pharmaceutical Companies: New Structural Trends and Therapeutic Areas is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deterministically patterned biomimetic human iPSC-derived hepatic model via rapid 3D bioprinting
Xuanyi Ma,Xin Qu,Wei Zhu,Yi-Shuan Li,Suli Yuan,Hong Zhang,Justin Liu,Pengrui Wang,Cheuk Sun Edwin Lai,Fabian Zanella,Gen-Sheng Feng,Farah Sheikh,Shu Chien,Shaochen Chen +13 more
TL;DR: 3D hydrogel-based triculture model that embeds hiPSC-HPCs with human umbilical vein endothelial cells and adipose-derived stem cells in a microscale hexagonal architecture is presented and finds improved morphological organization, higher liver-specific gene expression levels, increased metabolic product secretion, and enhanced cytochrome P450 induction.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D printing of functional biomaterials for tissue engineering.
TL;DR: The prevailing 3D printing techniques and their most recent applications in building tissue constructs are discussed and 3D bioprinting of vasculature network is particularly discussed for its foremost significance in maintaining tissue viability and promoting functional maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic 3D-printed scaffolds for spinal cord injury repair
Jacob Koffler,Wei Zhu,Xin Qu,Oleksandr Platoshyn,Jennifer N. Dulin,John H. Brock,Lori Graham,Paul Lu,Jeff Sakamoto,Martin Marsala,Shaochen Chen,Mark H. Tuszynski,Mark H. Tuszynski +12 more
TL;DR: It is found that injured host axons regenerate into 3D biomimetic scaffolds and synapse onto NPCs implanted into the device and that implanted NPCs in turn extend axons out of the scaffold and into the host spinal cord below the injury to restore synaptic transmission and significantly improve functional outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct 3D bioprinting of prevascularized tissue constructs with complex microarchitecture.
Wei Zhu,Xin Qu,Jie Zhu,Xuanyi Ma,Sherrina Patel,Justin Liu,Pengrui Wang,Cheuk Sun Edwin Lai,Maling Gou,Yang Xu,Kang Zhang,Shaochen Chen +11 more
TL;DR: This work created prevascularized tissues with complex three-dimensional (3D) microarchitectures using a rapid biop printing method - microscale continuous optical bioprinting (μCOB) that can be broadly applicable to the engineering and translation of various functional tissues.
