Researchers use cutting edge technology to bioprint mini-kidneys
Researchers bioprinted miniature human kidneys in the lab, paving the way for new treatments for kidney failure and possibly lab-grown transplants
FRESH 3D-printing platform paves way for tissues, organs
Bioprinting approach solves the issue of gravity and distortion by printing within a yield-stress support bath that holds the bioinks in place until they are cured
New method to boost supply of life-saving stem cells
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have great potential in treating incurable cancers, autoimmune diseases and inherited blood disorders. However, just 1 in 2500 cells in the blood marrow are HSCs, a scarcity that limits their use in medical procedures
