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 […]
Researchers develop novel 3D printing method to improve understanding of human brain development
Researchers from Oxford University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong have devised a novel 3D bioprinting method to better understand how the human brain develops. Using a lipid‐bilayer‐supported printing technique, the scientists 3D printed human cortical cells into a soft, biocompatible ECM matrigel. This process permitted the cells to be precisely pre-patterned into both […]
