Cell-free gene expression in bioprinted fluidic networks

Cell cultureMicrobial bioprocess

Researchers from the School of Natural Sciences at TU Munich utilized the Minifors bench-top bioreactor to support their innovative experiment on cell-free gene expression in bioprinted fluidic networks. This study highlights how integrating cell-free protein synthesis into vascularized hydrogels enables dynamic molecular control, providing valuable insights for creating synthetic biomaterials that mimic biological functions.
