A Cryopreservation‐Based Supply Chain Strategy for Extrusion Bioprinting in Space
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Extrusion bioprinting on crewed space platforms requires a bioink that stays functional along the logistic chain. Here, cells and biomaterial ink travel separately, the cells cryopreserved and the ink cold stored, and are combined only minutes before printing.
