Bioprinting Is Booming and Rainbow Biosciences Wants a Piece
In the whirlwind of news, inventions and ideas spiralling out of the additive manufacturing/3D printing revolution there is one whose potential is so big that the media have actually been a bit reluctant to talk about it: bioprinting (or bioplotting). Continue reading “Bioprinting Is Booming and Rainbow Biosciences Wants a Piece”
New York docs’ 3D-printed windpipe may one day let patients breathe easier
Dr. Faiz Bhora of St. Luke’s and Roosevelt Hospitals and his research team hope to be the first in the world to successfully implant 3D-printed tracheas in people. The tracheas are printed from biologic materials on a 3D printer and primed with stem cells for growth.

FFF BioPen Heralds Seaweed Bioprinting Industry
The world is a complex system of biodiversity, individual components interacting, giving and taking from one another. As we begin to truly understand this concept, we can begin to harness the power of living in symbiosis with our environment. Take seaweed, for instance. Researchers at the University of Wollongong (UOW) in Australia have been exploring the use of seaweed in 3D printed medical implants. Continue reading “FFF BioPen Heralds Seaweed Bioprinting Industry”
RBCC Moves to the Front Lines of the 3D Bioprinting Revolution
Rainbow Coral Corp. (OTCBB: RBCC) is well-positioned to capitalize on the revolution in medicine being spurred on by 3D printing technology thanks to the innovative BiO Assay, a new 3D bioprinting system developed by RBCC’s joint venture partner, Nano3D Biosciences (n3D).

Regenovo is China’s Organovo
Of the roughly 30 3D printers on display at CES 2014, the Regenovo bioprinter was definitely the only one that could potentially save your life in an instance of acute organ failure. But not for another 15 years or so. Continue reading “Regenovo is China’s Organovo”
Organovo Announces Collaboration with National Institutes of Health
Organovo announced today that they are joining together with two institutes from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to help scientists develop more reliable tools for bringing safer, more effective treatments to patients on a faster timeline. Organovo is collaborating with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the National Eye Institute (NEI) to develop better and more clinically predictive tissue models using Organovo’s NovoGen MMX Bioprinter®. Organovo will collaborate with NCATS and NEI in using the NovoGen Bioprinting platform to create three-dimensional, architecturally correct, functional living tissues.
