Abstract
Starch was mixed with a gel to produce a starch-based gel ink, which exhibited favorable printing characteristics. Through the optimization of infill density, 3D-printed scaffolds with 50% infill density and a highly ordered microstructure were successfully fabricated. The addition of calcium carbonate nanoparticles-glucono delta lactone (CaCO3 NPs-GDL) had notable effects on the swelling degree, in vitro digestion, water stability, and pore distribution of the scaffolds. When the amount of CaCO3 NPs in the starch-based gel was 0.075 g, the resulting 3D-printed gel scaffold with a 50% infill density proved to be the most suitable for cultivating cell-based meat. It featured pore sizes ranging from 80 to 120 μm and a compression modulus of 246.76 Pa. After 7 days of proliferation, the C2C12 mouse skeletal myoblasts exhibited an approximately 2.81-fold increase in cell numbers. The fusion index and maturation index of C2C12 cells on the scaffolds were 57.00 ± 0.45% and 34.56 ± 0.56%, respectively. The starch-based gel scaffolds demonstrated excellent water stability and in vitro degradability. Moreover, C2C12 cells exhibited successful proliferation and differentiation on the starch-based scaffolds, ultimately leading to the production of cell-based meat. This study developed a starch-based composite gel scaffold for the manufacture of cell-based meat.

Abstract
The manipulation of biological materials at cellular level constitutes a sine qua non and provocative research area regarding the development of micro/nano-medicine. In this study, we report on 3D superparamagnetic microcage-like structures that, in conjunction with an externally applied static magnetic field, were highly efficient in entrapping cells. The microcage-like structures were fabricated using Laser Direct Writing via Two-Photon Polymerization (LDW via TPP) of IP-L780 biocompatible photopolymer/iron oxide superparamagnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) composite. The unique properties of LDW via TPP technique enabled the reproduction of the complex architecture of the 3D structures, with a very high accuracy i.e., about 90 nm lateral resolution. 3D hyperspectral microscopy was employed to investigate the structural and compositional characteristics of the microcage-like structures. Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy was used to prove the unique features regarding the morphology and the functionality of the 3D structures seeded with MG-63 osteoblast-like cells. Comparative studies were made on microcage-like structures made of IP-L780 photopolymer alone (i.e., without superparamagnetic properties). We found that the cell-seeded structures made by IP-L780/MNPs composite actuated by static magnetic fields of 1.3 T were 13.66 ± 5.11 folds (p < 0.01) more efficient in terms of cells entrapment than the structures made by IP-L780 photopolymer alone (i.e., that could not be actuated magnetically). The unique 3D architecture of the microcage-like superparamagnetic structures and their actuation by external static magnetic fields acted in synergy for entrapping osteoblast-like cells, showing a significant potential for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The development of 3D scaffold-based in vitro tumor models can help to address the limitations of cell culture and animal models for designing and screening anticancer drugs. In this study, in vitro 3D tumor models using sodium alginate (SA) and sodium alginate/silk fibroin (SA/SF) porous beads were developed. The beads were non-toxic and A549 cells had a high tendency to adhere, proliferate, and form tumor-like aggregates within SA/SF beads. The 3D tumor model based on these beads had better efficacy for anti-cancer drug screening than the 2D cell culture model. Additionally, the SA/SF porous beads loaded with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were used to explore their magneto-apoptosis ability. The cells exposed to a high magnetic field were more likely to undergo apoptosis than those exposed to a low magnetic field. These findings suggest that the SA/SF porous beads and SPIONs loaded SA/SF porous beads-based tumor models could be useful for drug screening, tissue engineering, and mechanobiology studies.

Abstract
Cultivating meat from muscle stem cells in vitro requires 3D edible scaffolds as the supporting matrix. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing is an emerging 3D-printing technology for fabricating ultrafine fibrous scaffolds with high precision microstructures for biomedical applications. However, edible EHD-printed scaffolds remain scarce in cultured meat (CM) production partly due to special requirements with regard to the printability of ink. Here, hordein or secalin is mixed, which are cereal prolamins extracted from barley or rye, with zein to produce pure prolamin-based inks, which exhibit favorable printability similar to common polycaprolactone ink. Zein/hordein and zein/secalin scaffolds with highly ordered tessellated structures are successfully fabricated after optimizing printing conditions. The prolamin scaffolds demonstrated good water stability and in vitro degradability due to the porous fiber surface, which is spontaneously generated by culturing muscle cells for 1 week. Moreover, mouse skeletal myoblasts (C2C12) and porcine skeletal muscle satellite cells (PSCs) can adhere and proliferate on the fibrous matrix, and a CM slice is produced by culturing PSCs on prolamin scaffolds with high tissue similarity. The upregulation of myogenic proteins shows that the differentiation process is triggered in the 3D culture, demonstrating the great potential of prolamin scaffolds in CM production.

Abstract
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a never before seen challenge to human health and the world economy. However, it is difficult to widely use conventional animal and cell culture models in understanding the underlying pathological mechanisms of COVID-19, which in turn hinders the development of relevant therapeutic treatments, including drugs. To overcome this challenge, various three-dimensional (3D) pulmonary cell culture models such as organoids are emerging as an innovative toolset for simulating the pathophysiology occurring in the respiratory system, including bronchial airways, alveoli, capillary network, and pulmonary interstitium, which provide a robust and powerful platform for studying the process and underlying mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection among the potential primary targets in the lung. This review introduces the key features of some of these recently developed tools, including organoid, lung-on-a-chip, and 3D bioprinting, which can recapitulate different structural compartments of the lung and lung function, in particular, accurately resembling the human-relevant pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 infection in vivo. In addition, the recent progress in developing organoids for alveolar and airway disease modeling and their applications for discovering drugs against SARS-CoV-2 infection are highlighted. These innovative 3D cell culture models together may hold the promise to fully understand the pathogenesis and eventually eradicate the pandemic of COVID-19.

Abstract
Fibrous scaffolds have been extensively used in three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems to establish in vitro models in cell biology, tissue engineering, and drug screening. It is a common practice to characterize cell behaviors on such scaffolds using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). As a noninvasive technology, CLSM images can be utilized to describe cell-scaffold interaction under varied morphological features, biomaterial composition, and internal structure. Unfortunately, such information has not been fully translated and delivered to researchers due to the lack of effective cell segmentation methods. We developed herein an end-to-end model called Aligned Disentangled Generative Adversarial Network (AD-GAN) for 3D unsupervised nuclei segmentation of CLSM images. AD-GAN utilizes representation disentanglement to separate content representation (the underlying nuclei spatial structure) from style representation (the rendering of the structure) and align the disentangled content in the latent space. The CLSM images collected from fibrous scaffold-based culturing A549, 3T3, and HeLa cells were utilized for nuclei segmentation study. Compared with existing commercial methods such as Squassh and CellProfiler, our AD-GAN can effectively and efficiently distinguish nuclei with the preserved shape and location information. Building on such information, we can rapidly screen cell-scaffold interaction in terms of adhesion, migration and proliferation, so as to improve scaffold design.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) of the tumor microenvironment (TME), including topography and biological molecules, is crucial in cancer cell attachment, growth, and even the sensitivity to the chemo and cell drugs treatment. This study hypothesizes that mimic ECM structures can alter the attachment and drug sensitivity of cancer cells. A family of artificial ECM called colloidal self-assembled patterns (cSAPs) was fabricated to mimic tumor ECM structures. Cell adhesion, proliferation, and drug sensitivity of the A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells were studied on 24 cSAPs, named cSAP#1-cSAP#24, where surface topography and wettability were distinct. The results showed that cell adhesion and cell spreading were generally reduced on cSAPs compared to the flat controls. In addition, the synergistic effect of cSAPs and several chemo drugs on cell survival was investigated. Interestingly, A549 cells were more sensitive to the combination of doxorubicin and cSAP#4. Under this condition, the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling was downregulated while p53 signaling was upregulated, confirmed by real-time PCR and western blot analysis. It indicates that the specific surface structure could induce higher drug sensitivity and in vitro anoikis of A549 cells. A serum alternative, human platelet lysate (hPL), and different cSAPs were examined to verify our hypothesis. The result further confirmed that cell adhesion strongly affected the drug sensitivity of A549 cells. This study demonstrates that the tumor ECM is vital in cancer cell activity and drug sensitivity; therefore, it should be considered in drug discovery and therapeutic regimens.

Abstract
Inflammation plays an essential role in the human immune system, and anti-inflammatory compounds are important to promote health. However, the in vitro screening of these compounds is largely dependent on flat biology. Herein, we report our efforts in establishing a 3D inflammation murine macrophage model. Murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cells were cultured on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds fabricated through an electrohydrodynamic jetting 3D printer and their behavior were examined. Cells on PCL scaffolds showed a 3D shape and morphology with multilayers and a lower proliferation rate. Moreover, macrophages were not activated by scaffold material PCL and 3D microenvironment. The 3D cells showed greater sensitivity to lipopolysaccharide stimulation with higher production activity of nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthases (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Additionally, the 3D macrophage model showed lower drug sensitivity to commercial anti-inflammatory drugs including aspirin, ibuprofen, and dexamethasone, and natural flavones apigenin and luteolin with higher IC50 for NO production and lower iNOS and COX-2 inhibition efficacy. Overall, the 3D macrophage model showed promise for higher accurate screening of anti-inflammatory compounds. We developed, for the first time, a 3D macrophage model based on a 3D-printed PCL scaffold that provides an extracellular matrix environment for cells to grow in the 3D dimension. 3D-grown RAW 264.7 cells showed different sensitivities and responses to anti-inflammatory compounds from its 2D model. The 3D cells have lower sensitivity to both commercial and natural anti-inflammatory compounds. Consequently, our 3D macrophage model could be applied to screen anti-inflammatory compounds more accurately and thus holds great potential in next-generation drug screening applications.
