TY - JOUR KW - Tissue engineering KW - Tissues AU - Ester Sapir Baruch AU - Eric Silberman AU - Assaf Shapira AU - Tal Dvir AB - Four-dimensional bioprinting of tissues goes beyond cellular constructs that evolve or mature over time. It should incorporate time as an active design parameter, enabling programmed and predictable transformations. This requires implementing shape-morphing behaviour, either within materials or cell–matrix composites, to control the construct’s transition in form or size.
