Peptide-Functionalized Electrospun Meshes for the Physiological Cultivation of Pulmonary Alveolar Capillary Barrier Models in a 3D-Printed Micro-Bioreactor

An in vitro pulmonary alveolar capillary barrier model was developed that closely mimics physiological functions by combining a synthetic biofunctionalized nanofibrous membrane system with a novel three-dimensional (3D)-printed bioreactor.
