Volumetric bioprinting technique allows quick production of complex vascularized tissue

A novel, volumetric bioprinting technique has been developed utilizing an optical method to quickly sculpt complex shapes into stem cell-laden hydrogels, while building vascular networks into the resulting tissues. Volumetric bioprinting is the name coined for a novel bioprinting technique, capable of quickly sculpting complex shapes into stem cell-laden hydrogels, while concomitantly building complex vascular networks within the resulting tissues. The ground-breaking study, published in Advanced Materials, is set to revolutionize current tissue engineering methods, currently limited by their ability to produce complex shapes while ensuring survival of the stem cells. These issues could now be a thing of the...
