3D printing has been used in the past to help treat degenerative diseases, or at least make it easier to cope with them. In terms of neurodegenerative diseases, implanted prosthetic devices are often used,...
A new method enables non-invasive monitoring of oxygen metabolism in cells that are 3D bioprinted into complex living structures. This has great implications for studies of cell growth and interactions e.g. under tissue-like conditions,...
Researchers at the University of Minnesota, US, have 3D-printed an array of light receptors on a hemispherical surface, which can be used to create a bionic eye to assist blind and partially sighted people...
3D printing has rapidly become a big deal in medical applications. The technology is ushering in a new generation of custom prosthetics and surgical guides, is used to create life-like models of human organs...
In order to better understand important biological membranes, it is necessary to explore new methods. Researchers at TU Wien (Vienna) have succeeded in creating an artificial placental barrier on a chip, using a high-resolution...
Bioprinting is not a technology picked up from a science-fiction story, it is now a reality for the medical sector. There are more and more 3D printing materials available on the market, but now...
Organovo today announced that along with its collaborators, it has achieved several breakthrough capabilities for its 3D bioprinted tissues. At last week’s International Liver Congress, two posters were presented illustrating the Company’s ability to...
