The Spartathlon: The lunacy of the long-distance runner. Printing human embryonic stem cells. In recent years, the use of a simple inkjet technology for cell printing has triggered tremendous interest and established the field of biofabrication.
A key challenge has been the development of printing processes which are both controllable and less harmful, in order to preserve cell and tissue viability and functions. Here, we report on the development of a valve-based cell printer that has been validated to print highly viable cells in programmable patterns from two different bio-inks with independent control of the volume of each droplet (with a lower limit of 2 nL or fewer than five cells per droplet).
