Using Ultrasound to Align Cells in Biofabricated Tissues

Caption

The red dots shown here are living human adipose-derived stem cells. The left-hand image shows an image of a section of engineered tissue that was bioprinted without ultrasound-assisted biofabrication (UAB). Notice how the cells are homogeneously dispersed within the bioink. The right-hand image shows a section of engineered tissue that was bioprinted with UAB, causing the living cells to align.
