В космос со своим принтером
В связи со скорым запуском нашего биопринтера Орган.Авт на МКС, мы предлагаем прочитать статью и ознакомиться с тем, как применяют аддитивные технологии для космической индустрии.
Russian scientists 3D printing biological tissues with magnets in microgravity
Russian research team has developed a new method of bioprinting that allows to create 3D biological objects without the use of layer-by-layer approach and magnetic labels.
Bioprinting builds 3D model of a brain tumour
Patients who are newly diagnosed with high-grade gliomas (GBMs), one of the most aggressive brain tumours, only have a median survival time of around 15 months – reducing to just 5–7 months for recurrent tumours. Glioma stem cells are thought to be at the root of these poor outcomes, so researchers are focusing on therapies that could target these cells. An important first step is to develop realistic models that will enable scientists to study the biology of glioma stem cells and to investigate the resistance of GBMs to chemotherapy.
3D-printing human corneas
HUMAN corneas have been 3D-bioprinted using a specially designed bio-ink containing corneal cells.
Print me an organ
Creating whole organs in the lab is a distant dream. Some experts think it always will be. But as innovations in 3D bioprinting begin to filter out of research groups and into the commercial and clinical worlds, less headline-grabbing advances could nevertheless prove significant.
Bioprinting involves the use of 3D printing technology to build tissues and organs
The first step of bioprinting is to create a model of the organ using biopsy samples, CT scan, and MRI. Then, a mixture of cell and nutrients (also called as bioink) are added to the scaffold in a layer-by-layer approach to generate tissue-like structures.
