3-D biofabrication using stereolithography for biology and medicine.
In this paper, we review our recent work on the potential of stereolithography (SL) for different biomedical applications including tissue engineering, neovessel formation, investigating cell-cell and cell matrix interactions, and development of cellular systems. Also, we show that SL technology can be combined with dielectrophoresis (DEP) to create scaffolds with micro-scale organization, a hallmark of in vivo tissues.
