What is 4D cell culture?

4D cell culture is a programmable culture substrate with a self-morphing capability. The 4D culture substrate is fabricated using a combination of printing and imprinting techniques. It is a more advanced microenvironment as compared to 2D or 3D culturing techniques particularly in the field of neural tissue engineering.

4D cell culture induces differentiation of stem cells and enhances dynamic cell growth. It is a highly innovative additive manufacturing process that has huge potential for improving tissue regeneration, mimicking specific disease progression and enhancing other aspects of life science research.
