The bio-gripper: a fluid-driven micro-manipulator of living tissue constructs for additive bio-manufacturing.

abstract：:Scaffold-free 3D cell cultures (e.g. pellet cultures) are widely used in medical science, including cartilage regeneration. Their drawbacks are high time/reagent consumption and lack of early readout parameters. While optimisation was achieved by automation or simplified spheroid generation, most culture systems remai...
