  Integrating Biofabrication Technologies

  Unlocking the secrets of osteochondral regeneration has long been a daunting challenge, with the intricate interplay between cartilage and bone presenting formidable hurdles. However, a groundbreaking approach is on the horizon, poised to redefine the landscape of tissue regeneration: multiphasic scaffolds – the cornerstone of cutting-edge strategies aimed at mirroring the complexities of the osteochondral unit and nurturing the growth of implanted bone-marrow derived stem cells (BMSCs). Yet, amidst the promise, hurdles remain. Stem cell loss during expansion in vitro and the limited control over their behavior within scaffolds both in vitro and in vivo pose formidable challenges.

  Kidney 3D in vitro models through bioprinting

  At the Complex Tissue Regeneration department, we work hard to bridge the gap towards the dream of organs bioprinting. Step by step, we are now progressing towards understanding more and more in depth the requirements to bioprint different kidney cells, either derived from pluripotent stem cells or of adult species.
