About
Jiro Ono is a pioneering figure in the field of bioprinting and tissue engineering, best known for his groundbreaking work on needle array bioprinting systems. His research focuses on developing innovative methods to fabricate three-dimensional multilayered microstructures that mimic natural tissue architecture. Ono’s major contribution lies in harnessing the natural adhesive properties of cells; by culturing them in nonadhesive wells, he demonstrated that cells spontaneously aggregate into spheroids, which can then be precisely arranged into complex, layered constructs. This technique, detailed in his most-cited paper "Three-Dimensional Multilayered Microstructure Using Needle Array Bioprinting System" (2020, 3 citations), offers a significant advantage over traditional methods by allowing multiple cellular components to be seamlessly integrated into a single spheroid, promoting the formation of functional tissue. While his citation count is modest, Ono’s work at Cyfuse in Tokyo represents a foundational step toward scalable, scaffold-free bioprinting, with potential applications in regenerative medicine and drug testing. His innovative approach continues to inspire researchers seeking to advance the frontiers of biofabrication.
