Tensegrity at the Cellular Scale: Fuller's Structural Principle as the Engineering Foundation of Autonomous Organ Scaffold Design (FJGT/CGFT)

Puntos clave

• The aim is to investigate the application of Fuller's tensegrity principle in designing fiber scaffolds for organ genesis.
• Applies Fuller's tensegrity principle to three-dimensional fiber scaffolds.
• Examines structural isomorphism between fiber scaffolds and tensegrity networks.
• Evaluates how geodesic enclosure maximizes cell volume efficiency per scaffold material.
• Optimal fiber scaffold design is structurally isomorphic to a tensegrity network.
• Compression nodes effectively attract structural cell types; tension spans direct motile and neural cells.
• Geodesic enclosures significantly enhance the cell volume-to-material ratio.
