------For millions of years, cells have been thought of as Nature’s building blocks that make us what we are. “Let the cell do the work” is a general principle guided laboratory oriented biological research. Advance in Engineering and Life Sciences today has emerged an interdisciplinary paradigm of Biofabrication in which cells and other biologics are being used as engineering and/or biological building blocks to invent novel manufacturing processes and medical as well as therapeutic products. Biofabrication encompass a wide range of engineering, physical, chemical, and biological processes with a broad application in tissue science and engineering, disease pathogeneses study, drug testing and discovery, biosensors, and cell and organ printing. This presentation will report some salient advances on Biofabrication, covering the development of Biofabrication as an emerging field, the design, manufacturing and engineering relevance, the enabling Biofabrication techniques, and the impact of nanotechnology and integrated bio-nano fabrication. Examples of design and manufacturing of advanced tissue scaffolds and bioprinting of cells as tissue model for drug metabolism studies will be given. Challenges and opportunities of Biofabrication to modern design and manufacturing will also be discussed. |
