Now published in Advanced Functional Materials, We have developed a new class of dithiolane-modified, protein-based biomaterial that combines unique functions for tissue engineering.
See PublicationRizwan Lab critically reviews potential of granular bioinks to overcome the trade-off between printability and cell function.
See PublicationWe demonstrate a new ultra-low concentration GelMA hydrogel for improved 3D cell culture. The hydrogel combines physical and chemical crosslinking, enabling stable hydrogel formation at just 1% gelatin content, to improve 3D cell functions.
