Single cell speckled coating for reliable inkjet bioprinting

In this editorial, Ricardo Da Conceicao Ribeiro discusses the development of a reliable method for single cell bioprinting. Ricardo Da Conceicao Ribeiro1 1School of Mechanical and Systems Engineering, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE1 7RU, U.K; [email protected] Bioprocessing techniques Advances in biotechnology allow safe cell and bacteria processing for myriad applications. Bacterial production of chemical compounds through fermentation processes, such as bioethanol [1], cellular therapies that open new avenues for cancer treatment [2], cell-based devices for real-time diagnosis [3] or even human-like tissue bioprinting [4], are representative of high-throughput cell processing applications. However, cell processing techniques have two different but...
