Tissue-engineered trachea from a 3D-printed scaffold enhances whole-segment tracheal repair

Abstract Long segmental repair of trachea stenosis is an intractable condition in the clinic. The reconstruction of an artificial substitute by tissue engineering is a promising approach to solve this unmet clinical need. 3D printing technology provides an infinite possibility for engineering a trac...
