As reported by Y.S. Zhang and colleagues in this issue of Matter, a cryobioprinting method is optimized for fabricating freeform storable tissue constructs with shelf availability by taking advantage of the designed cryoprotective bioinks to maintain the functionality of embedded cells during the cryobioprinting and cryostorage processes.
