I am deeply humbled and honored for receiving support from the @ERC_Research
Consolidator Grant, to further our research on #bioprinting. Let’s turn on the spotlight on stem cells, pancreatic islets and their specialized blood vessels!

Time to 3D (bio)print with GRACE!
@Nature
Excited to share a new #3dprinting approach that learns from the materials to be printed, to automatically create designs and prints that conform to living cells, particles or any object embedded within a printable resin for light based printing.
We showed applications in building customized blood vessels, as well as osteochondral tissues via #bioprinting

A double win: ENLIGHT met at UNA in Naples during a momentous occasion. Napoli FC won the Series A football title, for the first time in 33 years! There was a special energy in the air, as we celebrated both the project progress and the team victory.🙌⚽️🧪

Attention Postdoctoral Researchers! Join our team (@MERLN_UM) developing (stem) cell therapies for ophthalmic conditions!
We're seeking a talented researcher to help bring a new cell therapy for corneal endothelial disease to the clinic.
Apply now: https://www.academictransfer.com/en/327054/postdoctoral-researcher-sought-on-a-regenerative-medicine-cell-therapy-at-the-merln-institute-for-technology-inspired-regenerative-medicine-maastricht-university/
(8/8) Check out the paper for the details! If you can't download the article yet, don't worry. It will be #openaccess soon! Check also the supplementary files, including info and STL files needed to build your own tools to align the MEW meshes within vials for volumetric printing
(7/n) All was made possible by the combined efforts of @RMUtrecht @Biofabwue @VET_UniUtrecht @UMCU_Intl @Uni_WUE (@charm_eu partners): @ggroessb @BartolfKopp CsabaGergely @pau_bernal1 @FlorczakSammy @MylenedeRuijter @josmalda @juergengroll Tomasz Jungst. Always fun to team up!
(6/n) With this new tech now available, future work will focus on moving to longer-term vessel culture and maturation. On top of that, since many more new composite structures can be produced, we look forward to see what the @ISBioFab #biomaterials #regmed communities will do!
(5/n) Functional movable parts, such as venous valves can be printed to produce more native-like anatomical features. Multi-material, multi-cellular prints are also possible, as shown with bioprinted, three-layered vessel models.
(4/n) Even when using soft GelMA hydrogels for cell culture and #biofabrication, composites with MEW fibers resulted in shape-stable constructs. Enhanced tensile and burst performance were achieved by varying the MEW tubular mesh patterns, and compared to native blood vessels
