Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for optically-induced auto-encapsulation. A method of the present disclosure comprises providing a media chamber comprising a medium comprising (i) a three-dimensional (3D) object comprising a photo-emitter, (ii) at least one polymeric precursor, and (iii) a photoinitiator, and subjecting the medium in the media chamber to a stimulus (e.g., an energy beam or a chemical stimulus) to induce photo-emission from the photo-emitter to trigger the formation of a polymer matrix from the at least one polymeric precursor, which polymer matrix at least partially encapsulates the 3D object.

Abstract: In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for printing an object, comprising: directing at least one energy beam from an energy source into a media chamber comprising at least one polymeric precursor to generate said object at a fine resolution within a certain time period.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and systems for bio-printing of three-dimensional organs and organoids. Also provided herein are bio-printed three-dimensional organs and organoids for use in the generation and/or the assessment of immunological products and/or immune responses. Also provided herein are methods and system for bio-printing three-dimensional matrices.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and systems for forming a three-dimensional object corresponding to an organ or organoid. A method for forming a three-dimensional object corresponding to an organ or organoid may comprise generating a plurality of discrete focal points patterned as a 3D projection corresponding to the organ or organoid in a medium comprising one or more precursors of a polymer, to form at least a portion of the 3D object corresponding to the organ or organoid.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for printing a three-dimensional (3D) material. In some examples, a method for printing a 3D biological material comprises providing a media chamber comprising a medium comprising (i) a plurality of cells and (ii) one or more polymer precursors. Next, at least one energy beam may be directed to the medium in the media chamber along at least one energy beam path that is patterned into a 3D projection wherein the x, y, and z dimensions may be simultaneously accessed in accordance with computer instructions for printing the 3D biological material in computer memory, to form at least a portion of the 3D biological material comprising (i) at least a subset of the plurality of cells, and (ii) a polymer formed from the one or more polymer precursors.
