While many researchers have long been investigating a method for bioprinting a heart, this year has marked some stunning breakthroughs. Most notably scientists at Tel Aviv university were able to print a miniature heart, as we covered previously. This time around Carnegie Melon University has developed a new method they call FRESH 2, which allows […]

3D printed transplant organs have been taking on an increasing level of complexity as of late. We’ve previously seen complex skin tissue and even a miniature functioning heart, but now University of Pretoria (UP) has added another breakthrough. Researchers at the university’s Faculty of Health Sciences have conducted 2 successful middle ear transplants using 3D […]

Although the days of fully 3D printed organs are not here yet, every day medical researchers inch closer. Previously, Tel Aviv University developed a miniature functional heart, while firms like BioLife3D are carrying out experiments with various types of cardiac patches. Although, researchers from multiple universities are tackling another line of cardiovascular tissue development. Their […]

With all the advances in bioprinting, there are distinct limitations most researchers are facing. Even with advanced organ recreations like a 3D printed miniature heart, there is still the issue of producing faster and in high volumes. UC Berkeley researchers may have found a possible solution in multi-layer cryolithography. With a new device, they employ […]

In a landmark achievement, Tel Aviv University have 3D printed a small heart using human tissue. While the organ itself is smaller than one would need in a transplant, it is a massive step forward for bioprinting. The 3D printed heart is the most complex of its kind, containing vessels, collagen and intricate tissue layers. The […]

Researchers at Rice, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and Baylor College of Medicine have developed a printed bioreactor that can produce new craniofacial structures within the ribs. The research is part of a decade-long program, funded by the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine. While the research focuses on battlefield […]

While the bioprinting of organs has enabled many opportunities for the transplant industry, there is another way artificial organs are aiding the world of medicine: organ simulations. One clearcut example comes from Harvard’s Wyss Institute and their work with printed proximal tubules. Much like their real counterparts, the bioprinted tubules reintroduce good molecules into the […]

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Institute of Engineering in Medicine have developed a spinal cord implant that could potentially revolutionise the way we repair nerve tissue. The implant is a 2mm replica spinal cord with a scaffolding that contains neural stem cells. Researchers recently tested it, showing improvements in regeneration in rats. […]

3D printing companies are using holograms and light-based technologies to great effect these days. While this area is mostly dominated by SLA and DLP, there are other light-based methods in the works. Holographic systems, for example, have found a home in bioprinting and are gaining new life every day. We previously covered Prellis Biologics’ work […]
