A Spanish-led research team has 3D printed a hydrogel capable of mimicking the behaviour of human lymph nodes, and accelerating the production of T-cells in cancer patients. By combining a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based polymer and the anticoagulant heparin, the team fabricated a structure which allowed T-cells to migrate and proliferate more effectively. Given that T-cells […]
HK inno.N and T&R Biofab to use 3D printed skin for testing skin disorder drugs
South Korean pharmaceutical company HK inno.N has announced plans to use artificial 3D printed skin to test new autoimmune and skin disorder drugs. Working with 3D bioprinting firm T&R Biofab, HK inno.N plans to fabricate a series of tissues with precisely-tailored characteristics. Leveraging the 3D printed flesh, the companies will conduct in-depth research into the […]
