In 3D bioprinting, cells are encapsulated in a shell like structure called alginate hydrogels and suspended in a fluid known as bioink. Through the printing process, the alginate hydrogel particle deformed under fluid pressure and shear stresses. This deformation causes a reduction in the cells prol...
