Project description

3D bioprinted Soft Micro-robotic ‘Niche’ systems (SMOREs) bridge the gap between theoretical and practical applications of stem cell therapy. A biomimetic microrobotic design allows for locomotion to target sites while embedded stem cells thrive, proliferate, and differentiate in a novel approach towards treating degenerative diseases.
