New 3D bioprinter compartmentalizes tissues using droplet-based 3D printing

Written by Sonia Mannan

University of Oxford researchers design new 3D bioprinting method that compartmentalises the printed tissues, allowing a better and more complex support structure. University of Oxford (Oxford, UK) scientists have created a new method of 3D printing laboratory-grown cells to form living structures. This development could potentially allow the production of complex tissues and cartilage which are able to support or repair damaged parts of the body. The results of their study were published in Scientific Reports. This new development by Oxford Synthetic Biology (OxSyBio; London, UK), a spin-out from the University, could transform the field of regenerative medicine. Alexander Graham,...
