Advanced optical assessment and modeling of extrusion bioprinting
Abstract
In the context of tissue engineering, biofabrication techniques are employed to process cells in hydrogel-based matrices, known as bioinks, into complex 3D structures. The aim is the production of functional tissue models or even entire organs. The regenerative production of biological…

Lessons to learn for 3D printing of drug products by semisolid extrusion (SSE)
Abstract
Semisolid extrusion (SSE) 3DP technology is emerging due to its simplicity and potential for on-site manufacturing of personalized drug products with tailored functionality (dose, release profile), as well as recognizability (size, shape, color). However, even a minor change in the…
