Tissue engineering accelerated with novel scaffold-free bioprinting technique

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (AL, USA) have developed a new bioprinter that has the potential to rapidly increase printing speeds for tissue engineering. Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB; AL, USA) have developed a new bioprinter that has the potential to rapidly increase printing speeds for tissue engineering. The machine, which is as small as a toaster and only cost $2,000 to build, is reported to be safe to use and can be easily cleaned. Reported in the journal, Micromachines, the team hopes that their new bioprinter could pave the way for computer-controlled tissue manufacturing...
