Bioprinting is increasingly used to create complex tissue constructs for an array of research applications, and there are also increasing efforts to print tissues for transplantation. Bioprinting may also prove valuable in the context of drug screening for personalized medicine for treatment of diseases such as cancer. However, the rapidly expanding bioprinting research field is currently limited by access to bioprinters. To increase the availability of bioprinting technologies we present here an open source extrusion bioprinter based on the E3D motion system and tool changer to enable high-resolution multimaterial bioprinting. As proof of concept, the bioprinter is used to create collagen constructs using freeform reversible embedding of suspended hydrogels (FRESH) methodology, as well as multimaterial constructs composed of distinct sections of laminin and collagen. Data is presented demonstrating that the bioprinted constructs support growth of cells either seeded onto printed constructs or included in the bioink prior to bioprinting. This open source bioprinter is easily adapted for different bioprinting applications, and additional tools can be incorporated to increase the capabilities of the system.
生物打印技术越来越多地被用于创建用于各种研究应用的复杂组织构建体,并且也越来越努力地为移植打印组织。生物打印在药物筛选方面也可能对癌症等疾病的个性化治疗有价值。然而,目前快速发展的生物打印研究领域受到生物打印机的限制。为了增加生物打印技术的可用性,我们在这里展示了一种基于 E3D 运动系统和工具更换器的开源挤出式生物打印机,以实现高分辨率多材料生物打印。作为概念验证,该生物打印机用于使用自由形式可逆嵌入悬浮水凝胶(FRESH)方法创建胶原构建体,以及由层粘连蛋白和胶原的不同部分组成的多材料构建体。提供的数据表明,生物打印的构建体支持细胞的生长,这些细胞要么接种到打印的构建体上,要么在生物打印之前包含在生物墨水中。这种开源生物打印机很容易适应不同的生物打印应用,并且可以添加其他工具来增加系统的功能。
