Nature Protocols, Published online: 19 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s41596-025-01240-xAspiration-assisted bioprinting is a versatile biofabrication technique that enables the precise and selective patterning of biologics, such as tissue spheroids and organoids, addressing the limitations of conventional bioprinting techniques.

A new approach combining 3D imaging, computer vision and parametric modelling, named GRACE, is introduced, enabling adaptive and context-aware 3D printing of structures around features ranging from cellular to macroscopic scales with minimal user intervention.

Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment...
