Volumetric 3D printing of microalgae-based engineered living materials.

In their work, Windisch et al. demonstrate the successful adaptation of volumetric 3D printing to photosynthetically active green microalgae-based engineered living materials (ELMs), addressing key fabrication challenges associated with light scattering and absorption in cell-laden materials. Their work expands the fabrication toolbox for geometrically complex ELMs and highlights volumetric printing as a promising approach for developing functional photosynthetic living materials.
