Laser-Assisted Cell Printing: Principle, Physical Parameters Versus Cell Fate and Perspectives in Tissue Engineering

Abstract

We describe the physical parameters involved in laser-assisted cell printing and present evidence that this technology is coming of age. Finally we discuss how this high-throughput, high-resolution technique may help in reproducing local cell microenvironments, and thereby create functional tissue-engineered 3D constructs.
