Preliminary results of direct cell-matrix assembly technology

Tissue loss and end-stage organ failure has been an emergent problem for humanity. Solving this problem at the most basic level is currently an area of great interest to many.researchers. At the end of the 20th century, tissue engineering technology began using formed scaffolds to indirectly control the assembly of cells. This technology has resulted in a new way to artificially fabricate tissues.But the method has been limited to simple tissue types,such as bone, skin, muscle and tendon. The fabrication of complex organs by this technology is still not possible.A possible alternative is assembling cells directly into a viable and predefined structure.
