Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we attempted to develop methods for constructing functional 3D tissues by 3D bioprinting using a series of inks that is gellable and removable by enzymatic reactions. In order to achieve this, we developed a new 3D bioprinting method and showed that the inks can be used to fabricate structures without impairing the differentiation ability of human adipose-derived stem cells using visible light-responsive photocatalysts as well as enzymes. Furthermore, by applying the ink to an inkjet 3D printer, it was shown that microsphere-shaped and microfiber-shaped tissues can be fabricated. These results are expected to lead to the construction of tissue bodies containing vascular networks.
