<p class="MsoNormal" >CHEN, Shaochen, 3d Bioprinting, Tissue Engineering, UCSD, May 29, 2018

This is the 12:30PM weekly Tuesday, CVI&nbsp; lecture at Stanford in LKS 130.

<b>SC = Shaochen Chen </b>is a Prof. of Tissue Engr at UCSD&nbsp; (and director.)

(he has a YouTube similar to this talk from April 2018.)

he begins...

Regenerative Medicine:&nbsp; addresses many organ systems.

Tony Atala&nbsp; paper in Nature Biotech 2014:&nbsp; he cites.

many different levels of stiffness of tissues:

eg from (soft) fat to (hard) &nbsp;articular cartilage.

he reviews traditional 3d BioPrinting techniques:

eg&nbsp; drop by drop&nbsp; (via an inkjet)

or&nbsp; microextrusion&nbsp; (like toothpaste)&nbsp; line by line

but better is&nbsp; Laser stereolithography....&nbsp; point by point

but it's slow.

his work&nbsp; (from 2006)&nbsp;&nbsp; scanningless&nbsp;&nbsp; 3d... using UV curable resin

layer by layer...

then&nbsp; from&nbsp; 2012:&nbsp; he shows&nbsp; printing of vasculatures....in seconds!

10 to 20 micron vessels.

(but see my Q to him:&nbsp; they have not yet perfused these.)

can pull out a growing structure from solution... to get

continuous&nbsp; optical printing of 3d scaffolds....

continuous... eliminates&nbsp; artificial interfaces&nbsp; between beads or lines.

we use&nbsp; uncrosslinked monomers;&nbsp;&nbsp; cells,

can capture them in a hydrogel scaffold.

and&nbsp;&nbsp; PEGDA&nbsp; Polyethylene glycol&nbsp; Diacrylate

Gelatin&nbsp; Methacrylate&nbsp; GelMA

Hyaluronic Acid and others.

nice contours in z direction.

next: the 3rd topic in his outline

embed&nbsp; PDA nanoparticles in the gel.

can use for detoxification.

can collect and sense toxins.

create a sponge&nbsp; like device...

3d printed&nbsp; artificial Micro-fish...

put them into H2O2.

fish size is 100 micron.

guide it with magnet.

and with iron oxide in head and platinum oxide in tail.

imagine the 1966 Fantasic Voyage movie written by Harry Kleiner.

topic four:&nbsp; regulating scaffolds:

stiffness:&nbsp; change crosslinking

Poisson's ratio = PR.

PPR = positive ratio...

like Chinese handcuffs&nbsp; (shrinks in diameter with stretching)

but we can design such that it expands&nbsp; (negative PR)

V&nbsp; (fifth topic)

3d bioprint of human liver model.

with central vein&nbsp; in each lobule.

looks like stained glass.

use hydrogel of GelMA.

and cells are&nbsp; hiPSCs-HPCs.&nbsp; human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.

merge two layers

one with hiPSCs-HPCs (hepatic&nbsp; cells) and the other with HUVEC and ADSCs.

we get&nbsp; expression of four key liver-specific genes.

Albumin;&nbsp;

and TTR&nbsp; (transthyretin)

HNF4a&nbsp;&nbsp; and

AFP&nbsp; alphafetoprotein...

and get&nbsp; albumin secretion...

and&nbsp; can get&nbsp; induction of CYP from rifampin.

*

model of heart muscle on a cantilever.

similar to a rubber band around&nbsp; two posts.

shows&nbsp;&nbsp; beating of&nbsp; NMVCM tissue.

printing parallel lines&nbsp; =>&nbsp; greatest displacement of posts. (most force)

shows endothelial network formation and they form

lumen-like structures.

Summary:

light based 3d printing offers microscale resolution and is 3000 times faster.

"Human on a chip.."&nbsp;&nbsp; eg for drug testing.
