TECHNIQUE FOR FORMATION AND ASSEMBLY OF 3D CELLULAR STRUCTURES

摘要

In one example, the present invention refers to a method of making or producing a self- supporting cellular construct having a continuous channel within its central cavity, comprising the steps of providing a mould with a central opening, wherein the mould encloses a volume around the central opening (hole) capable of housing a plurality of cells. Each of the plurality of self-supporting cellular constructs, having a central opening in a series adjacent to one another such, is placed so that the central opening of each of the self- supporting cellular constructs having a central opening is aligned to one another to thereby form, for example, a continuous channel within its central cavity.
