Seaweed-derived gels could be a new source of biocompatible material for medical implants that also has a positive impact on the environment. Researchers from the University of Wollongong hope to combine industrial seaweed farming and 3D printing to make biocompatible medical implants.

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”
