In live organisms, cells are embedded in tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM), which provides chemical and mechanical signals important for cell differentiation, migration, and overall functionality. Careful reproduction of ECM properties in artificial cell scaffolds is necessary to get physiologically relevant results of in vitro studies and produce robust materials for cell and tissue engineering. Nanoarchitectonics is a contemporary way to building complex materials from nano-scale objects of artificial and biological origin.

Progressive liver disease and dysfunction cause toxic metabolites including ammonia and unconjugated bilirubin to accumulate in plasma. As the population ages alternatives to liver transplantation become increasingly important. One approach for use as a bridge to transplant or recovery is the use of bioartificial liver systems (BALS) containing primary or immortalised hepatocytes as ex-vivo replacements or supports for endogenous liver function.

We engineered an in vitro model of bioartificial 3D bone organoid consistent with an anatomical and vascular microenvironment common to mammalian flat and short bones. To achieve this, we chose the decellularized-decalcified matrix of the adult male rat scapula, implemented with the reconstruction of its intrinsic vessels, obtained through an original intravascular perfusion with polylevolactic (PLLA), followed by coating of the PLLA-fabricated vascularization with rat tail collagen. As a result, the 3D bone and vascular geometry of the native bone cortical and cancellous compartments was reproduced, and the rat tail collagen-PLLA biomaterial could in vitro act as a surrogate of the perivascular extracellular matrix (ECM) around the wall of the biomaterial-reconstituted cancellous vessels.

Three-dimensional bioprinting is a key technology in bioartificial organ production. However, production of bioartificial organs has significant limitations because it is hard to build vascular structures, especially capillaries, in printed tissue owing to its low resolution. As the vascular structure plays a critical role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing metabolic waste, building vascular channels in bioprinted tissue is essential for bioartificial organ production.

The intestinal muscle layers execute various gut wall movements to achieve controlled propulsion and mixing of intestinal content. Engineering intestinal muscle layers with complex contractile function is critical for developing bioartificial intestinal tissue to treat patients with short bowel syndrome. Here, the first demonstration of a living intestinal muscle patch capable of generating three distinct motility patterns and displaying multiple digesta manipulations is reported.
