For some time now, we've been hearing about scaffolding-like implants that encourage bone tissue or cartilage to grow back into areas where it's missing. Now, scientists have developed a method for ...
Microfilaments made using a new 3D printing method (gray) form a structure that plant and animal cells (in color) can adhere to. The shapes formed by the filaments determine the uniform cell shapes. A ...
Chemically coated, ceramic implants successfully guided the regrowth of missing bone in lab animals while 'steadily dissolving,' researchers report. Chemically coated, ceramic implants successfully ...
3D printing is still a relatively novel method of manufacture, and has already diversified massively in terms of printing methods, materials, and design possibilities, finding niche application in a ...
A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully used common plant proteins to 3D-print an edible cell culture scaffold, allowing more affordable and sustainable ...
A research team has developed a process that enables 3D printing of biological tissues without scaffolds using 'ink' made up of only stem cells. Engineered tissues and organs have been grown with ...
