    Affordable bioprinting tissue at the touch of a button

    Printing a living tissue construct with a 3D printer from the electronics store? Until now, this was impossible. Bioprinting required expensive specialised equipment. Researchers have now succeeded in modifying a simple 3D printer so that it can create biological structures at the touch of a button. This is an opportunity for small laboratories to conduct…

    August, 22nd, 2024 Sports activities can lead to injuries, often to the cartilage in the joints, if the strain is incorrect. Untreated cartilage defects can lead to osteoarthritis in old age, for which there is currently no effective treatment. Personalised cartilage cell implants from the 3D printer should provide a remedy in future. Special printing…
