By incorporating synthetic biology techniques with engineered materials, this platform enables multi-fate codifferentiation within the same culture by introducing distinct cellular functions for synthetic ligands GFP and mCherry. Through 3D bioprinted patterning, we aim to generate more complex models of skeletal muscle that incorporate mature myofibers and integrated endothelial networks.
