Bioprinting

Explores recent progress in bioprinting methods

A stylized complex multi-layer shape, representing 3D bioprinted human tissues for biomedical research. At its center, in orange colour, are functional bioprinted pancreatic islets. The use of innovative computer vision and microscopy technology to obtain an adaptive, context-aware printing is symbolized by eyes situated at the periphery of the printed construct.

Adaptive and context-aware volumetric printing enhances functional relevance of 3D bioprinted human tissues

03 September 2025 The technique of 3D bioprinting of living tissues to recapitulate the structure and function of human organs has shown great promise in disease modelling, drug testing and regenerative medicine. To further enhance the viability, complexity and functional relevance of bioprinted constructs, Riccardo Levato’s team at UMC Utrecht and Utrecht University have developed an innovative modelling methods termed Generative, Adaptive, Context-Aware 3D printing (GRAC
