About
Masashi Kawamura is a pioneering figure in the field of bioprinting and tissue engineering, best known for his development of the needle array bioprinting system. His research focuses on creating three-dimensional multilayered microstructures that leverage the natural adhesive properties of cells. Kawamura’s key contribution lies in a novel technique where cells are cultured in nonadhesive wells, prompting them to aggregate into spheroids. This method allows for the precise mixing of cellular components within a single spheroid, enabling the formation of complex, multilayered tissue architectures. His most cited work, "Three-Dimensional Multilayered Microstructure Using Needle Array Bioprinting System" (2020), has garnered 3 citations and showcases his innovative approach to scaffold-free tissue fabrication. By promoting the self-assembly of cells into functional microtissues, Kawamura’s research holds significant promise for regenerative medicine, drug testing, and organ-on-a-chip applications. His work at Cyfuse in Tokyo, Japan, continues to push the boundaries of bioprinting technology, offering a scalable and efficient method for constructing intricate biological structures that mimic native tissue organization.
