Novel technique produces micropores, allowing diffusion of nutrients in biofabricated tissues

In this exclusive interview, Yang Wu (Penn State University; PA, USA) discusses his current research on the use of micropores in biofabricated tissues to increase diffusion of nutrients. Keywords: 3D printing - bioink - bioprint - micropores - porous tissue strands Dr Yang Wu is a postdoctoral fellow and lab manager at the 3D Bioprinting Lab at Penn State. His research interests involve 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine, such as development of tissue strands as bioink for osteochondral tissue bioprinting, skin bioprinting and pancreatic organ printing in the field of diabetes research. As a postdoctoral scholar at Penn State, he has been leading several fundamental studies. Prior to this,...
