The Billion Cell Construct: Will 3D Printing Get Us There? figshare/articles/_The_Billion_Cell_Construct_Will_Three_Dimensional_Printing_Get_Us_There_/1060141 How structure relates to function—across spatial scales, from the single molecule to the whole organism—is a central theme in biology. Bioengineers, however, wrestle with the converse question: will function follow form? That is, we struggle to approximate the architecture of living tissues experimentally, hoping that the structure we create will lead to the function we desire. A new means to explore the relationship between form and function in living tissue has arrived with three-dimensional printing, but the technology is not without limitations. #anatomy #bioengineering #3dprinting
