Awesome couple creating 3D printed rats for lab dissection
“We can print an animal and structure the layers so that they feel like real tissue, and make a model a person could dissect without ever having to wear gloves, use sharp tools or kill an animal.” And the rats rejoiced. Continue reading “Awesome couple creating 3D printed rats for lab dissection”
New Funding for Rainbow 3D Bioprinting System That May Replace Animal Toxicity Tests
In the U.S. The National Institute of Health has moved a step closer to help to fund the joint venture of Rainbow Coral Corp. and Nano3D Biosciences. Nano3D has been awarded a grant for work associated with its recent proposal Novel 3D high-content/throughput assay with mobile device-based data acquisition. Continue reading “New Funding for Rainbow 3D Bioprinting System That May Replace Animal Toxicity Tests”
Revealing the Mysteries of the Brain with the Help of 3D Printing
Of all the organs in the human body, by far the most complex and least understood is the brain, but now, thanks to the wonders of 3D printing, we may be a small step closer to revealing its mysteries. Continue reading “Revealing the Mysteries of the Brain with the Help of 3D Printing”
New 3-D printing developments include blood vessels, back braces
3-D printed blood vessels: Medical experimentation using 3-D printing has taken new form in recent years, and one of the biggest developments overall has been the growth of bioprinting. In other words, this is the creation of living and natural material using the technology, according to 3-D Print. Continue reading “New 3-D printing developments include blood vessels, back braces”
First ever opposite lung, living donor lung transplant takes place thanks to 3D printing
We all are aware that 3D printing has been helping advance several different types of surgeries. It’s doing this in two ways; first by giving surgeons the option of a variety of new types of 3D printed implants, and second lung-2by allowing surgeons to print replica organs for a better understanding of the procedures that they are about to initiate. Continue reading “First ever opposite lung, living donor lung transplant takes place thanks to 3D printing”
The World’s First Masters Degree in 3D Bioprinting
Four universities in three countries across two continents have partnered to create one revolutionary masters degree program in 3D bioprinting. They have created the world’s first masters degree program that will allow students to claim boldly and proudly that they are masters of biofabrication. Continue reading “The World’s First Masters Degree in 3D Bioprinting”
New 3D Bioprinter for Tissue Engineering and Organ Regeneration
With the new 3D Bioprinter, the research group of Professor Paul Gatenholm at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering exploits new possibilities of tissue engineering and organ regeneration. Professor Paul Gatenholm’s research has gained a lot of attention lately, both in newspapers and on television. A quick interview..

Engineering Ourselves – The Future Potential Power of 3D-Bioprinting?
Researchers at Swansea University are exploring the use of a novel 3D-bioprinting technology to make living tissue structures. This research is being focused not towards fuelling the excitement of organogenesis, but instead towards producing heterogeneous biological support tissues for use in reconstructive surgery. Continue reading “Engineering Ourselves – The Future Potential Power of 3D-Bioprinting?”
3D Printed Patch Helps Heal Damaged Hearts
Harvard scientists may have just found a way to repair a heart after it sustains damage during a heart attack: using a layer of heart cells that replicate the way that natural heart muscle beats. Continue reading “3D Printed Patch Helps Heal Damaged Hearts”
