The global bioprinting market sits at a compelling intersection of biology, materials science, and precision manufacturing. Demand is rising across pharmaceutical research, regenerative medicine, and organ transplantation as bioprinted tissue constructs prove their value as alternatives to animal models and donor tissues. Legislative pressure on animal testing in cosmetics, a persistent organ don…
Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) have developed a new approach to finger and hand prosthetics that integrates four previously separate disciplines, hybrid materials, bioprinting, smart sensors and mechanical design, into a single customizable device. The work, led by a team of researchers across RIT’s Rochester and Dubai campuses, was published in the Journal…
Bioprinting — the use of specialized 3D printing techniques to deposit living cells, biomaterials, and bioactive compounds into structured tissue constructs — has long occupied a space between scientific ambition and clinical reality. For years, the field struggled with reproducibility, material limitations, and the complexity of replicating biological architecture. The integration of artificial …
Expedition 75 is gearing up for a busy August with three spacewalks planned at the International Space Station. The orbital residents are also printing living cells and tissues and studying how to increase the effectiveness of exercising in space. The post Spacewalk Preps, Bioprinting, and Exercise Research Top Station Schedule appeared first on NASA Science .
An EU-funded research team has developed a 3D bioprinting technique that grows living bone, fat and muscle tissue in the lab, with uses stretching from leukaemia research to cultivated meat.  The work comes out of PRISM-LT, a five-year project running until 2027 and coordinated scientifically by Massimo Vassalli, professor of bioengineering at the University of…
Expedition 74 began the week bioprinting human cartilage tissue and harvesting alfalfa plants aboard the International Space Station to advance health and promote self-sustainable space crews. The orbital residents also retrieved materials exposed to the external space environment and conducted their own ultrasound vein scans to continuously learn how living in space affects physics and biology. …
3D bioprinting and stem cell research were the main research topics aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The Expedition 74 crew members also photographed growing plants and lab windows for inspection while continuing to pack a U.S. cargo spacecraft. The post Bioprinting Cartilage, Producing Stem Cells Fill Thursday’s Research Schedule appeared first on NASA Science .
MIT researchers have built a tiny magnetic mixer that keeps cells evenly suspended during extrusion bioprinting, looking to make printed tissues far more repeatable. The post MIT’s MagMix Tackles Bioprinting’s Cell Settling Problem appeared on Fabbaloo .
A company has deployed a scalable process to 3D print human corneas. The post Precise Bio Reveals Scalable 3D Bioprinting Process After First Human Cell-Printed Cornea Transplant appeared on Fabbaloo .
Congratulations to Ryan B. Felix on being recognized by Maryland Today for his research in AI-powered bioprinting. The video highlights how his research can transform healthcare and tissue engineering. In the video, Dr. John P. Fisher, Principal Investigator of the … Continue reading →
Researchers have developed a novel bioprinting technique that uses spheroids, which are clusters of cells, to create complex tissue. This new technique improves the precision and scalability of tissue fabrication, producing tissue 10-times faster than existing methods.
During bioprinting, cells are suspended in a viscous bioink and extruded under pressure through small diameter printing needles. The combination of high pressure and small needle diameter exposes cells to considerable shear stress, which can lead to cell damage and death. Approaches to monitor and control shear stress-induced cell damage...
