Figure 14.
The influence of shear forces in the cartridge-nozzle system on the viability of cells subjected to 3D bioprinting. Graph A shows the results for the model using a 0.6 mm diameter nozzle and 3% alginate as the hydrogel carrier. Graph B shows the results for the model using a 0.2 mm diameter nozzle and 3% alginate as the hydrogel carrier.
