Bioprinting News and Research

RSS

Bioprinting involves the use of 3D printing technology to build tissues and organs. Bioprinting precisely places cells, proteins, DNA, drug particles, growth factors and biologically active particles spatially to guide tissue generation and formation. It has been used extensively in the field of regenerative medicine.

Researchers develop new technique to print tri-layered skin equivalents

Chronic wounds are deep and difficult to repair. Often, the top of the injury heals before the bottom, so the wound collapses in on itself. Over time, this can result in scar tissue and reduced skin function.

Researchers print new low-cost, reproducible cell co-cultivation system

Scientists of the MIPT Cell Signaling Regulation Laboratory have developed a new low cost reproducible system for the co-cultivation of cells. This system is based on a polymerized BSA membrane.

New automated process uses ultrashort peptides to print hydrogel scaffolds

A new automated process prints a peptide-based hydrogel scaffold containing uniformly distributed cells. The scaffolds hold their shapes well and successfully facilitate cell growth that lasts for weeks.

Fibrous protein could lead to more efficient bioprinting, tissue engineering applications

Fibrous proteins such as collagen and fibrinogen form a thin solid layer on the surface of an aqueous solution similar to the "skin" that forms on warm milk, according to a team of Penn State Researchers, who believe this finding could lead to more efficient bioprinting and tissue engineering.

New syringe technology for subcutaneous injection of viscous formulations

MIT researchers have developed a simple, low-cost technology to administer powerful drug formulations that are too viscous to be injected using conventional medical syringes.

Researchers use 3D printing to produce cardiomyocytes from stem cells

The life of each human being starts from a single cell, which subsequently divides to ultimately form into an embryo.

Researchers develop bioink to print tissue-mimicking material in 3D printers

A research group led by Daniel Aili, associate professor at Linköping University, has developed a bioink to print tissue-mimicking material in 3D printers.

Cell-culture based in vitro test systems for screening of antitumor drugs

As we know, a malignant tumor is a complex system of mutated cells which constantly interacts with and involves healthy cells in the body.

Texas A&M lab produces 3D-bioprinted bone tissues

Dr. Akhilesh K. Gaharwar, associate professor, has developed a highly printable bioink as a platform to generate anatomical-scale functional tissues. This study was recently published in the American Chemical Society's Applied Materials and Interfaces.
