An invention relates to the field of tissue engineering and 3D printing, in particular to an artificial tissue precursor and a method for preparing the same. In particular, it relates to an artificial tissue precursor comprising a solid support and a plurality of microcapsules, wherein at least one microcapsule is attached to the solid support, the microcapsules comprising cells and biocompatibility of encapsulated cells Materials; methods for preparing said artificial tissue precursors; kits and kits for preparing artificial tissue precursors; artificial tissues cultured from said artificial tissue precursors, such as artificial lumen; containing said artificial tissue precursors Luminal implants or luminal models of bodies or artificial lumens; use of artificial tissue precursors for the production of artificial tissue, luminal implants or luminal models; and, artificial tissue for the production of luminal implants or use of lumen models. |
