British researchers have developed a new method to 3D print cells to form living tissues
FirstpostTo help repair damaged body parts, scientists in Britain have developed a new method to 3D-print laboratory-grown cells to form living structures. In a step towards helping repair damaged body parts, scientists in Britain have developed a new method to 3D-print laboratory-grown cells to form living structures. “We were aiming to fabricate three-dimensional living tissues that could display the basic behaviours and physiology found in natural organisms,” lead author Alexander Graham from Oxford Synthetic Biology said. Hence, we focused on designing a high-resolution cell printing platform, from relatively inexpensive components, that could be used to reproducibly produce artificial tissues with appropriate complexity from a range of cells including stem cells,” Graham added.
