Abstract

Micromaterials can be fabricated in a near infinite number of shapes, sizes, and chemical compositions. These micromaterials can subsequently be assembled into macro-sized constructs using bottom-up approaches as reviewed by A. Khademhosseini and co-workers on page 2130. Each type of micromaterial can provide a unique micro-environment to the (stem) cells. This can be leveraged to drive e.g., angiogenesis, neurogenesis, or osteogenesis in a spatially preprogrammed manner to allow the formation of organized bioengineered tissues.
