Cell aggregate is cohesively gathered and adhered cells, enabling to mimic cell-to-cell interaction in tissue. To provide this feature, various generation methods of cell aggregates have been introduced for tissue engineering. However, due to a lack of additional combinations with three-dimensional (3D) fabrication process, creating tissue constructs using cell aggregates has been constrained with these conventional methods. This thesis explores the utilization of extrusion-based 3D bioprinting technology to print cell aggregates, presenting novel approaches in the tissue engineering field.
In session 1, we describe the general overview of cell aggregate. First, we define the terminology of "cell aggregate" in detail. And addressing the architecture of liver tissue as an example, we emphasize the significance of considering cell-to-cell interaction with a cell aggregate in tissue engineering. Furthermore, conventional methods for generating cell aggregates are explained, reviewing their fundamental principles.
Session 2 focuses on our development of a new 3D printing methodology of cell aggregates. Current bioprinting methodologies have successfully facilitated the printing of pre-generated cell aggregates to fabricate 3D tissue constructs. However, these methods face limitations in accurately and precisely patterning multiple types of cell aggregates to mimic complexity in tissue. Our study aims at developing the 3D printing method for precisely patterning of multiple types of cell aggregates. To achieve this, cells with dissolvable materials were embedded-printed into matrix, forming cell aggregates in-situ during culture period. This technique allowed for the successful printing of cell aggregates of multiple cell types with accurate control over diameter and position on a scale of tens of microns.
Session 3 covers another study, developing a novel design of macroencapsulation system at treating type 1 diabetes with 3D printing of pancreatic islets which are naturally cell aggregates. Macroencapsulation systems of islets for transplantation have shown a great potential to treat type 1 diabetes. However, current systems have hurdles for clinically promising subcutaneous transplantation, due to deficiency of interaction between islets and host blood vessels. We demonstrate developed multilayer sheet where islets are specifically positioned in the shell layer, enabling efficient exchange of oxygen and nutrient between islets and host blood vessel.
In session 4, we finalize the thesis by providing suggestions of a further study for the future based on our research findings. We address directions for the further application including organ-on-a-chip platform using our new printing method. Additionally, we open discussion on the translational potential of our developed islet macroencapsulation system for human treatment.*표시는 필수 입력사항입니다.
