Aspect Biosystems: The Bioprinting Process

aspect Biosystems is a Canadian biotechnology company building living 3d tissue solutions for the life science industry aspects proprietary lab on a printer platform is one of the most advanced tissue engineering technologies in the world capable of rapidly 3d printing human cells with biological scaffolds to generate complex living tissues developing a useful 3d tissue begins with defining how the tissue should function then conceptualizing how to construct the tissue to display the desired functions generating a biologically relevant 3d structure is essential to recreating lifelike function once the tissue structure is defined the 3d bioprinting protocol is designed to enable the rapid and accurate fabrication of the living tissue aspects unique lab on a printer microfluidic technology enables switching between different cell types and scaffold components on the fly the living fibers we generate a deposited layer by layer to rapidly and accurately build heterogeneous tissues with well-defined regions in order to recreate biological function the bioprinters structure has to be grown for several days and specialized culture conditions during this maturation process the printed cells form interconnected networks resulting in a lifelike 3-d tissue the tissues we build have highly physiological functions here is a 3d bio ring made of airway smooth muscle cells contracting in response to histamine and relaxing in response to salbutamol recreating an asthma attack in a dish the highly skilled team of engineers and biologists that aspect bio systems are enabling the production of customized tissues on demand for disease research regenerative medicine and drug development aspect bio systems human tissues on demand contact us to learn more about accessing our unique bio printing technology
