Many people ask us how 3D Bioprinting can be used for cancer research. Today on Biotech Buzz we have one of our collaborators that covers this exact topic. Tune in to see how she is using 3D bioprinting for breast cancer research.

Cartilage – the connective tissue that provides a smooth, lubricated surface between joints in the body – is a structural marvel, but its limited capacity for self-repair complicates injury treatment. To boost the healing process, researchers have long been keen to find new cell-based therapies, and have identified cartilage as a promising candidate for tissue...
Bioprinting builds 3D model of a brain tumour
May 16, 2018
Patients who are newly diagnosed with high-grade gliomas (GBMs), one of the most aggressive brain tumours, only have a median survival time of around 15 months – reducing to just 5–7 months for recurrent tumours. Glioma stem cells are thought to be at the root of these poor outcomes, so researchers are focusing on therapies...
A UCLA bioengineer has developed a technique that uses a specially adapted 3D printer to build therapeutic biomaterials from multiple materials. The advance could be a step toward on-demand printing of complex artificial tissues for use in transplants and other surgeries. “Tissues are wonderfully complex structures, so to engineer artificial versions of them that...
