“…As characteristic of biological muscle tissues, such constructs could also respond to incoming electric stimuli with whole-tissue mechanical contraction, indicating efficient bioelectrical communication. Alternatively, numerous other works have disclosed the superior organotypic biofunctionality that arises from incorporating tissue-specific dECMs within the development of cell-laden materials, which have yielded functional microtissue analogues across a broad range of human tissues: such as (i) cornea, (ii) oesophagus, (iii) peripheral nerves, (iv) blood vessels, (v) heart, (vi) cartilage, (vii) adipose tissue, (viii) liver, (ix) lung, (x) pancreas, and (xi) kidneys [51,54,55]. In addition, aided by recent advances in tools dedicated to omics analysis, researchers are progressively identifying key components present in such organotypic dECMs that are the major drivers of organogenesis and/or responsible for augmenting the constructs bioperformance beyond those of naïve cell assemblies [50].…”
