3D printers may one day become a permanent fixture of the operating theatre after UNSW scientists showed they could print bone-like structures containing living cells
Biomedical metallic implants improved with 3D printing
Researchers have developed a technique to modify naturally occurring biological polymers with protein-based biochemical messages that affect cell behavior
Discovery holds potential for biomedical applications. It converts from sheets to tubes and back in a controllable fashion. Made of synthetic collagen, the new nanomaterial may have a range of biomedical applications, from controlled-release drug delivery to tissue engineering
Researchers have succeeded in ‘fine tuning’ a new thermoplastic biomaterial to enable both the rate at which it degrades in the body and its mechanical properties to be controlled independently
Polymer NPs can elude the immune system and cross the blood brain barrier
Surgeons will soon have a powerful new tool for planning and practice with the creation of the first full-sized 3D bioprinted model of the human heart
Scientists have developed a method to bioprint a type of cartilage that could someday help restore knee function damaged by arthritis or injury
Engineers use machine learning to speed bioscaffold development. Artificial intelligence can speed the development of 3D-printed bioscaffolds that help injuries heal, according to researchers
