JR Centre for Materials Engineering in Soft Tissue Regeneration

A custom-built super-resolution fluorescence microscope, which will be used to analyze cells within artificial 3D scaffolds.
A combined atomic force and fluorescence microscopy setup for in-depth characterization of extracellular vesicles, the key mediators of intercellular signaling in engineered artificial tissue.

Tissue engineering plays a central role in regenerative medicine, as it offers solutions for organ failure, tissue damage and degenerative diseases. It also has the potential for personalized therapies. However, there is currently a lack of test and development systems for transferring in-vitro models to living organisms. This JR Centre is researching three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting techniques for use in the regeneration of muscle tissue.
