Tunable 3D‐Printed Static Mixers for Gradient Bioprinting With High Cell Viability
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The fabrication of native tissue‐like structures with gradual transitions in material properties, cell types, and growth factors remains a major challenge in biofabrication due to the lack of suitable methods. Mimicking the hierarchical organization of living tissues is essential for functional models, yet creating gradient, multimaterial ...
