SINERGIA: biofabrication for 3D in vitro models
We are excited to have been selected for funding in a Marie Curie project called SINERGIA, which aims at developing advanced models of human physiology and diseases, to be ultimately introduced in the preclinical stages of the drug discovery pipeline.

Mimicking Tissue Organization at Multiple Scales with Biofabrication
Many tissues in our body display a variable degree of fiber curliness, which is crucial for their biomechanical behaviour. Methods to replicate such features in scaffolds for regenerative medicine are limited. Here, we show how by simply applying controlled buckling to electrospun fibers, we can fabricate scaffolds with different degrees of fiber waviness at multiple scales.

Towards Kidney bioprinting
Certainly bioprinting of a full kidney remains a dream. It will be probably like that for many decades, unless a strong and well funded collaborative effort will be originated in the near future. However, current kidney bioprinting attempts are helping creating more know-how over kidney biology through the biofabrication of 3D in vitro models that can be used to study new treatments for kidney chronic conditions.

World TERMIS 2021
After Seoul, Vienna, and Boston, Maastricht was selected to host the next world conference of the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine society. We expect to attract more than 2'000 delegates by 2021 in Maastricht, which is at the center of a European region fervidly active in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, stem cells, biomaterials, in silico modeling, and biofabrication.
