    Cell and Biofactor Printable Biopapers

    Uploaded by

    U.S. Naval Research Laboratory
    The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed thin polymer/hydrogel scaffold sheets, or ‘biopapers’, which act as substrates for cell and biofactor printing. The patented NRL technique uses these biopapers as mechanically stable sheets to be used in a cell printing apparatus. Each polymer sheet can be addressed with different growth factors and then loaded into a cell printer for patterned cell seeding. After printing, the biopapers can be cultured to achieve the desired level of cell differentiation (e.g., vasculature formation) and/or tissue formation. They are strong enough that they can then be physically stacked into three dimensional structures.By printing multiple cell types in a defined pattern on each sheet, culturing, and then stacking the sheets, these biopapers can be used to enable heterogeneous tissue structures to be created in 3D including structures needed for prevascularization of tissue constructs and unique, high resolution, in vitro 3D cell culture models.
