  • Publication number: 20260084375
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a fabrication platform for supporting a bioprinted fiber structures during printing, patterning, and/or processing, comprising a frame with a plurality of posts for securing a cross-linkable fiber during printing thereof, and where a continuous length of the cross-linkable fiber is printed around a plurality of posts during the 3D bioprinting process. The fabrication platform enables the cross-linkable fiber to be suspended during one or more of printing, patterning, and/or processing. In this way, the bioprinted fiber structure comprises a uniform outer surface, and can be easily modified and/or further processed after printing and patterning are completed.

  • Publication number: 20260007805
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include an implantable composition/medical device encapsulating insulin-producing cells for use in the treatment and management of diabetes, generally comprising a multilayer lattice structure fabricated from a continuously bioprinted cell-laden core/shell fiber, the lattice structure having a defined infill density and at least coating applied to the lattice post-printing, and preferably at least one conformal coating. In this way, multilayer lattice structures are provided with improved stability, retrievability, and functionality.

  • Publication number: 20250161532
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include systems and methods for producing selectively permeable cell laden solid core fiber structures, and for producing three-dimensional (3D) biological structures for digital files. In embodiments, the printed fibers comprise living cells embedded in at least one annulus layer or the printed fibers comprise a solid core of at least one biological material. The tissue fiber can be used in tissue engineering as synthetic tissue structures.
