    Abstract: A modular engineered tissue construct includes a plurality of fused self-assembled, scaffold-free, high-density cell aggregates. At least one cell aggregate includes a plurality of cells and a plurality of biocompatible and biodegradable nanoparticles and/or microparticles that are incorporated within the cell aggregates. The nanoparticles and/or microparticles acting as a bulking agent within the cell aggregate to increase the cell aggregate size and/or thickness and improve the mechanical properties of the cell aggregate as well as to deliver bioactive agents.

    Abstract: A method of forming a gel particle slurry includes providing a first solution that includes a cross-linkable hydrogel polymer macromer and an optional first crosslinker in a first depot and optionally a second solution in a second depot that is separated from the first depot by a mixing unit that includes a mixing element; and reversibly transferring the first solution and the optional second solution through the mixing unit between the first depot and the second depot such that the first solution and the optional second solution are mixed and agitated to form the gel particle slurry.

    Abstract: A bioadhesive includes a crosslinked biodegradable hydrogel that includes a plurality of oxidized, acrylated or methacrylated, natural polymer. Bioadhesives are natural or synthetic materials that can be used for soft tissue repair to create a seal preventing leakage of biological fluids or to reinforce anatomic integrity as an attractive alternative to sutures and staples. The most widely used bioadhesives are fibrin, cyanoacrylates, and albumin-glutaraldehyde bioadhesives.

    Abstract: A method for forming a bioactive agent spatially patterned includes providing a photocrosslinkable hydrogel that includes a photocrosslinkable base polymer, photocrosslinkable bioactive agent coupling polymer macromers, and at least one bioactive agent that couples to the photocrosslinkable bioactive agent coupling polymer macromer, an selectively exposing discrete portions of the photocrosslinkable hydrogel to actinic radiation effective to initiate cross-linking of the base polymer and the bioactive agent coupling polymer macromers at the exposed portions.
