  1. 1. MYCELIUM MILLENNIUM

    University essay from Konstfack/Industridesign

    Author : Maria Pita Guerreiro; [2020]
    Keywords : mycelium; fungi; millennium; biofabrication; craft; fungal technology; material revolution; circular design;

    Abstract : MYCELIUM MILLENNIUM imagines a new era in which biological resources, specifically Fungi and Mycelium, are used to grow a collection of objects for everyday domestic rituals, merging biofabrication and traditional craft. The project is an effort to demystify the transformation of an organism to a biomaterial and at the same time raise questions of aesthetics and cultural acceptance. READ MORE

  3. 2. Silk's sweet spot: untangling the requirements for artificial silk extrusion using a biomimetic approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Rodrigo Sanches Pires; [2019]
    Keywords : silk fibroin; injectability; extrusion; hydrogels; soft matter mechanics; biomimetic progressive acidification; silk self-assembly; thioflavin t; physical chemistry; biofabrication; spectroscopy; silk spinning; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Up to this date, only a few silk hydrogels were reported to be injectable. Of these, none are truly biomimetic, and are instead comprised of blends with limited amounts of silk. Hence, no truly silk-based hydrogels exist as of today. READ MORE

  4. 3. Computational Fluid Dynamics and Quantitative Cell Viability Measurements in Dispensing-Based Biofabrication

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Anton Bahrd; [2017]
    Keywords : bioprinting; cell viability; computational fluid dynamics; cell throughput; CFD; bioprinting nozzle; bioprinting quantification; bioprinting method; non newtonian fluid; power law fluid; cellink; bioink;

    Abstract : Bioprinting is a technique used to create tissue models by deposition of a bioink containing cells on a printing surface using a 3D-printer. To net the highest cell viability, cell throughput and structural rigidity in a bioprinted tissue the characteristics of a bioink such as viscosity and ease of use is of importance. READ MORE
