Researchers have flipped traditional 3D printing to create some of the most intricate biomedical structures yet.
Regenerative Medicine
Scientists develop nose Jell-O for skin cancer recovery
A team of scientists are making skin cancer recovery surgeries safer using a material hydrogel that mimics natural cartilage.
Pillar of support: Breakthrough discovery could speed up bone implant recovery
Micropillar arrays using UV nanoimprint lithography essentially trick cells to become bone.
Researchers develop hydrogel to improve spinal cord repair after injury
A hydrogel loaded with drugs to simultaneously regenerate nerve tissues and blood supply shows promise for promoting recovery after spinal cord damage.
Individualized brain cell grafts reverse Parkinson’s symptoms in monkeys
A new study provides hope for Parkinson’s disease, showing that neuron grafts using patients’ own cells have the potential to manage and even reverse symptoms.
Shape-shifting 4D materials provide new opportunity for tissue engineering
A new hydrogel can incorporate high cell density constructs to better mimic the rearrangement of native tissue in bioengineering.
Bioengineered muscle fibers help regrow damaged tissue
A new tissue regeneration strategy that employs direct cell reprogramming in combination with a new hybrid scaffold shows promise in proof-of-concept study.
Leveraging the lung’s biogenesis to repair the heart
Stem cells found in the lungs can be redirected to the heart using a new inhaled antibody therapy to help boost healing following a heart attack.
Joining forces to build realistic living tissue
Hybridizing biofabrication processes will lead us to superior “living” tissue and organ substitutes that can be used to treat patients in lieu of donor grafts and metal and plastic devices.
Growing new cartilage with magnetic fields and hydrogels
Researchers use an enhanced technique to pattern unaltered cells within a 3D hydrogel, allowing them to recreate complex biological tissue for regenerative medicine.
