3D printing for tissue replacement.

Posted on

According to Arda Gozen, Geoge, and Joan Berry associate professor in the Washington State University School of Mechanical and materials engineering and their team of researchers, ¨ they have developed a unique scaffolding material for engineered tissues that can be fine-tuned for the tricky business of growing natural tissue. They report on their research in the journal, Bioprinting. Using 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, makes it possible to print complex, porous, and personalized structures and could allow doctors someday to print out tissue for a patient’s particular body and needs.¨

3D printed, mechanically tunable, composite sodium alginate, gelatin and Gum Arabic (SA-GEL-GA) scaffolds.
