Cell electrowriting: An advanced biofabrication approach for micrometre-scale living tissue fabrication
Abstract
• Cell electrowriting (CEW) places living cells with near single-cell precision • Delivers finer detail than melt electrowriting and extrusion bioprinting • Prints aligned, organized cells directly—no post-seeding needed • Unlocks lifelike microvessels and muscle or nerve patterns for function The precise replication of native tissue microarchitecture remains a key challenge in biofabrication. While extrusion-based bioprinting fabricates multicellular constructs for regenerative medicine and drug testing, its typical resolution (∼100 μm) is insufficient to reproduce
