A01 | Alginate-based bioinks with tailored microstructural properties for controlled cell behavior

The aim of subproject A01 is the modification of adhesive, microstructural as well as microscopic and macroscopic mechanical properties of alginate-based biofabricated hierarchical tissue analogues for controlling desired cell behavior. This goal will be achieved by adjusting the porosity through sacrificial structures and by establishing localized durotactic gradients using two-phase (core/shell) printing. By simultaneously printing bioinks with different mechanical, adhesive and structural properties that are loaded with different cell types, a high degree of complexity can be achieved to control durotaxis, cell migration, cell differentiation and tissue structure formation.
