Super soft structures produced utilizing novel 3D printing technique

A novel bioprinting technique devised at Imperial College London could allow the manufacture of soft structures that mimic the brain and lungs. A novel bioprinting technique devised at Imperial College London could allow the manufacture of soft structures that mimic the brain and lungs. In new research, published in Scientific Reports, researchers at Imperial College London (UK) have combined 3D printing with cryogenics to create a new method of bioprinting that creates very soft structures. Being able to more closely mimic the structure and softness of tissues such as the brain or lungs is an important step in manufacturing scaffolds...
