The use of animals for developing life-saving therapies is costly and imprecise. Engineered human tissues have emerged as a powerful tool for patient-specific pre-clinical testing. Yet, there is a gap in the technology for producing aligned tissues such as muscles and nerves. At Lumios, we are developing a groundbreaking light-based printing platform that creates in vitro tissue models, closely mimicking the microenvironment and cellular organization of aligned tissues. Our technology ensures unparalleled efficiency in cost and time for producing tissue constructs while providing versatility and scalability for downstream applications.
