(A) Corresponding technologies for assembling building blocks at different scales. The size of each biological entity is shown above the scale axis, while the sample size that each assembly technology can manipulate is shown below the scale axis. (B) Schematic of multiscale assembly strategies from bottom to top for engineering 3D tissue constructs. The assembly strategies can follow paths starting with biomolecules or cells and can be integrated in the engineering of the final 3D tissue constructs.
