We are pleased to share the first NEOLIVER scientific publication from Cedric Bergerbit and Laura de Laporte, from DWI – Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials, presenting a microgel technology with strong potential for future bioprinting applications.

This early milestone introduces self‑setting biomaterial inks with tunable rheological properties and improved printability. The work strengthens the technological foundations required for advanced biofabrication and the development of functional liver constructs.

Key contributions include:

• Robust and customizable microgel‑based bioinks

• Improved structural stability of printed constructs

• Materials tailored for biofabrication and tissue engineering

• Progress toward future 3D bioprinting strategies
