Post‐Maturation Reinforcement of 3D‐Printed Vascularized Cardiac Tissues (Adv. Mater. 31/2023)

Tissue Bioprinting In article number 2302229, Tal Dvir and co‐workers demonstrate a biocompatible method for reinforcing engineered tissue post‐fabrication. The technique enables 3D bioprinting of soft tissue and gives the cells time to establish intercellular communications before the tissue's mechanical properties are significantly improved by the reinforcement protocol. In the work, thick, vascularized cardiac tissues are enhanced to the point of injectability.
