Biofabrication

期刊简介：Biofabrication focuses on cutting-edge research regarding the use of cells, proteins, biological materials and biomaterials as building blocks to manufacture biological systems and/or therapeutic products. Emphasis is on the development of fabrication technologies, modelling of the fabricated constructs and maturation of biofabricated objects towards the intended tissue types. It includes the following topics:Cell, tissue and organ printing, patterning and assemblyfor in vitro cell models and tissue modelsfor tissue precursors, analogs and substitutesas disease modelsas drug/toxicological screening modelsBiofabricated cell/biological material-integrated systems and medical devicesbiochips and biosensorscell-laden microfluidic devicescell/tissue/lab/organ-on-a-chipNovel 3D tissue scaffold fabricationconvergence of (bio)fabrication technologiesnovel processes for complex scaffolds and surface engineeringbioactive and bioinspired tissue scaffoldsengineering 'active and reactive' interfaces within hierarchical structuresdirect and indirect fabrication methods...etc.
