SUTD leads in-depth review on the impending reality of 3D printed organs and analyses recent accomplishments, limitations and opportunities for future research. 3D bioprinting is a highly-advanced manufacturing platform that allows for the printing of tissue, and eventually vital organs, from cells. This could open a new world of possibilities for the medical field, while
he world’s first integrated 3D bioprinter + confocal scanner (BioAssemblyBot + GE IN Cell Analyzer 6500HS) Strategic R&D and distribution partnership aims to advance the field of 3D biofabrication. Printed cells with vascularization would be first step toward more complex biological structures for bone, soft tissue, and organ replacements. The partners will create an integrated
To report novel uses of existing medicines for patients with difficult-to-treat infectious diseases The US Food and Drug Administration announced the global launch of CURE ID, an Internet-based repository that will allow the clinical community to report their experiences treating difficult-to-treat infectious diseases with novel uses of existing FDA-approved drugs through a website, a smartphone
Artificial neurons on silicon chips that behave just like the real thing have been invented by scientists of the University of Bath and researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Zurich and Auckland – a first-of-its-kind achievement with enormous scope for medical devices to cure chronic diseases, such as heart failure, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases of
Creating an object from a scratch: not just an illusion, but a reality. Nowadays, there is a way to turn your ideas into three-dimensional objects and here, the magic word is 3D printing. This technique, also called additive manufacturing, consists of successive layer-by-layer depositions of material which, all together, form the desired object. Contrary to conventional
Multinozzle printer can switch between multiple inks up to 50 times per second 3D printers are revolutionizing manufacturing by allowing users to create any physical shape they can imagine on-demand. However, most commercial printers are only able to build objects from a single material at a time and inkjet printers that are capable of multimaterial
Researchers were able to apply a machine-learning computational model to arrange stem cells into different shapes. The holy grail of medical advancements is being able to create organs out of one’s own cells. But to do that researchers have to organize stem cells into predictable patterns, which has been quite a struggle. 3-D printing is one approach
A novel bioink can integrate living cells into 3D scaffolds at a speed of one meter per second, making it possible to study the spread of diseases and produce tailor-made tissue. 3D bioprinting has come a long way in recent years, with scientists using living tissue to print organs as complex as human skin. Researchers in
Google has gained access to a huge trove of US patient data – without the need to notify those patients – thanks to a deal with a major health firm. The scheme, dubbed Project Nightingale, was agreed with Ascension, which hopes to develop artificial intelligence tools for doctors. Google can access health records, names and
Liquid-in-liquid 3D printing was first presented in a BMW funded MIT project. Although the project initially seemed limited in scope the possibilities of 3D printing within a liquid medium opens new opportunities in terms of escaping gravitational pull and thus producing parts that require a more volumetric approach, such as biological structures and organs. As reported
