International collaboration produces liver construct using bioprinting that can be used for accurate drug toxicity testing

Researchers from around the world have come together to use bioprinting to contract a liver model which can provide more realistic responses to drugs and toxicity compared to 2D cell models. A simple liver model for drug toxicity testing was created utilizing 3D bioprinted tissue in an international research collaboration. The 3D bioprinted liver tissue makes it possible to improve the accuracy on the tests. The results of the study were published in Biomicrofluidics. Institutions that participated in the study include KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Galeazzi (Italy), Konkuk University (South...
