Philadelphia-headquartered 3D bioprinting company Allevi has launched the Skin Bioink Kit. A material package, this kit is to be used in conjunction with its 3D bioprinters to produce patches of skin. It aims to allow tissue engineers to design multi-layered skin patches that are more akin to natural human skin. According to Allevi’s website, “Skin […]
RTI Surgical, a Michigan-based medical technology company, has enrolled its first Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) patient for clinical evaluation of its Fortilink Interbody Fusion (IBF) 3D printed implants. The Fortilink IBF devices are made using the company’s TETRAfuse 3D Technology which integrates 3D printed nano-rough surfaces for enhanced protein absorption, bioactivity, cell adhesion, and tissue […]
South Korean scientists are working to improve cancer treatments with 3D bioprinting. Professor Sun Ha Paek, Chairman in the Department of Neurosurgery at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH), and Professor Dong-Woo Cho of the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have 3D bioprinted glioblastoma-on-a-chip devices to understand the behavior of cancer cells. Glioblastoma, also […]
UNYQ, a San Francisco-based company specializing in 3D printed medical wearables, has announced the launch of the UNYQ Socket, a 3D printed prosthetic leg socket. It is available for order now after being unveiled at the British Association of Prosthetics and Orthotists (BAPO) in Harrogate, UK on March 15th 2019. The UNYQ Socket is one […]
CELLINK, the Swedish manufacturer of the BIO X 3D printer, and Volumetric a Texas-based biomaterials and biomanufacturing company, have introduced the Lumen X Digital Light Processing (DLP) bioprinter to produce large vascular structures. Designed as an entry-level platform, the Lumen X works with patent-pending bioinks to print high-resolution, macroporous, and vasculature structures, strengthening research regenerative medicine. […]
Scientists from London’s Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) and the Royal Marsden Hospital have 3D printed tungsten disks within a gamma camera for higher resolution medical imaging. Gamma cameras are used to conduct functional scans of the brain, thyroid, lungs, liver, gallbladder, kidneys and skeleton. This medical imaging technique captures traces of radiation emitted by […]
Scientists from the Foundation for Research and Science Development in Poland (Fundacja Badań I Rozwoju Nauki or Fundacja BIRN) are using 3D bioprinting to create a bionic pancreas. In an effort to combat diabetes, Michał Wszoła MD, Ph.D., Principal investigator at Fundacja BIRN, is leading a project to 3D bioprint scaffolds using pancreatic tissue or insulin-producing […]
