Melt electrospinning device incorporating bioinks may improve quality of 3D bioprinting

Written by Peter Brown

A collaboration between the University Medical Center Utrecht (Utrecht, The Netherlands) and regenHU (Villaz-St-Pierre, Switzerland) may result in stronger and more accurate 3D bioprinted tissues via a new electrospinning device incorporating bioinks. A collaboration between experts within 3D bioprinting and biomanufacturing from the University Medical Center Utrecht (Utrecht, Holland) and regenHU (Villaz-St-Pierre, Switzerland) has developed the first melt electrospinning device incorporating bioinks, which may allow more accurate 3D bioprinting of tissues for therapeutic use, and could ultimately therefore help produce 3D printed organs. The device combines bioinks with electrospinning to precisely produce complex, mechanically strong and stable tissues. The electrospinning...
