A 3D bioprinting system to produce human-scale tissue constructs with structural integrity
TL;DR: An integrated tissue–organ printer (ITOP) that can fabricate stable, human-scale tissue constructs of any shape is presented and the incorporation of microchannels into the tissue constructs facilitates diffusion of nutrients to printed cells, thereby overcoming the diffusion limit of 100–200 μm for cell survival in engineered tissues.

3D Bioprinted Human Skeletal Muscle Constructs for Muscle Function Restoration
Ji Hyun Kim,Young-Joon Seol,In Kap Ko,Hyun Wook Kang,Young Koo Lee,Young Koo Lee,James J. Yoo,James J. Yoo,Anthony Atala,Anthony Atala,Sang Jin Lee,Sang Jin Lee +11 more
TL;DR: 3D bioprinting strategy was applied to fabricate an implantable, bioengineered skeletal muscle tissue composed of human primary muscle progenitor cells (hMPCs) and showed a highly organized multi-layered muscle bundle made by viable, densely packed, and aligned myofiber-like structures.
Neural cell integration into 3D bioprinted skeletal muscle constructs accelerates restoration of muscle function.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the 3D bioprinted human neural-skeletal muscle constructs can be rapidly integrated with the host neural network, resulting in accelerated muscle function restoration.

In Kap Ko,Li Peng,Andrea Peloso,Charesa Smith,Abritee Dhal,Daniel B. Deegan,Cindy Zimmerman,Cara Clouse,Weixin Zhao,Thomas Shupe,Shay Soker,James J. Yoo,Anthony Atala +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated, for the first time, that vascularized bioengineered livers, of clinically relevant size, can be transplanted and maintained in vivo, and represents the first step towards generating engineered livers for transplantation to patients with end-stage liver failure.

Mehran Abolbashari,Sigrid Agcaoili,Mi Kyung Lee,In Kap Ko,Tamer Aboushwareb,John D. Jackson,James J. Yoo,Anthony Atala +7 more
TL;DR: This study aims to establish an effective cell seeding method using pig kidney cells for the repopulation of acellular porcine kidney scaffolds, suggesting that engineered kidneys may offer an alternative to donor organ transplant.
