Numerical Investigation of Cell Deformation during Bioprinting Processes — •Sebastian Müller and Stephan Gekle — University of Bayreuth

Cell viability and functionality during bioprinting processes strongly depend on the deformations that cells experience during printing. These, in turn, result from the mechanical stresses caused by the surrounding fluid motion.

Using the multiple-relaxation-time Lattice Boltzmann Method implemented in the software package ESPResSo, which we extended with shear thinning viscosity models and a neo-Hookean cell model, we investigate the deformation of cells during the printing process qualitatively in dependence of the shear thinning properties and the printing parameters.
