Precision scaffolds tailor biomaterials to promote wound healing
Box-shaped 3D tissue scaffolds cause human macrophages to switch into a pro-healing type, for use in biomaterial-based wound dressings
Curing genetic disease in human stem cells
The aim is to repair the error in the DNA without cutting it. This theoretically makes it a safer form of genetic editing. Scientists have shown for the first time that this technique can effectively and safely repair the DNA of stem cells derived from cystic fibrosis patients in the lab
Human textiles to repair blood vessels
Researchers are developing ”human textiles” from collagen in order to repair damaged blood vessels
Grooves hold promise for sophisticated healing
Bioengineers 3D-print implants to seed multiple layers of tissue
Superior “bio-ink” for 3D printing pioneered
Researchers are developing materials to help grow human tissues
Handheld 3D skin printer demonstrates accelerated healing of severe burns
The bio ink dispensed by the roller is composed of mesenchymal stroma cells (MSCs). In this case, the MSC material promotes skin regeneration and reduces scarring
Handheld 3D printers developed to treat musculoskeletal injuries
Biomedical engineers recently developed a handheld 3D bioprinter that could revolutionize the way musculoskeletal surgical procedures are performed
Bioengineers take step towards being able to mend a broken heart
Bioengineers have developed a prototype patch that does the same job as crucial aspects of heart tissue. Their work essentially takes us one step closer to being able to mend a broken heart
