Researchers bioprinted miniature human kidneys in the lab, paving the way for new treatments for kidney failure and possibly lab-grown transplants
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
A cost-effective method for high-throughput production of spheroids could prove indispensable for tissue engineering applications
3D-printed novel biomaterial mimics properties of living tissues
Materials scientists and their colleagues have developed a new method to make synthetic biomaterials that mimic the internal structure, stretchiness, strength and durability of tendons and other biological tissues
A bioink containing both organic and inorganic elements of bone and laden with stem cells could improve treatments of injured or diseased bone
‘Mini-lungs’ grown from tissue donated to hospitals have provided a team of scientists with important insights into how COVID-19 damages the lungs. Researchers detail the mechanisms underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection and the early innate immune response in the lungs
A newly-designed 3D-printed Biomesh effectively minimized postsurgical complications of hernia repair in an animal model
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
