This study introduces a novel lattice structure, whose unit cell design draws inspiration from the fusion of honeycomb patterns and the DNA found at the core of cells, constructed from PLA material. This structure underwent tensile testing along the X and Y axes. Additionally, the paper presents a new analytical-numerical approach that combines Timoshenko beam theory, mechanics of materials principles, and finite element analysis to determine the mechanical properties and forecast failure in cellular structures. This method was corroborated using the ABAQUS commercial software. Research indicated that a closer ratio of thickness to unit cell length, specifically 1/10, leads to more precise predictions for the mechanical behavior of the cellular structure under tension along the X axis. The findings showed that, in comparison to the Y axis, the X direction exhibited a 7% increase in load-bearing capacity and an 8% increase in maximum yield stress, yet the equivalent stiffness was 75% lower
