3D printing is helping for better bio implant.
As said by co author Dr. Gowsihan Poolpgasundarampillai, Fellow in Biomaterials school of Dentistry,¨Additive manufacturing platforms are transforming research and manufacturing worldwide. We used light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) to mimic the portion of the extrusion bioprinting process in which cells are most likely to be damaged.
We’ve demonstrated the power of LSFM-based imaging to give new insights on cell and fluid movements and flow patterns during extrusion using different bioinks. Previous studies of flow behaviour and mechanical stress on cells during printing lacked this information on cell dynamics, often leading to faulty assumptions about fluid behaviour and flow modeling.¨
New imaging technique could lead to better bio-implants for patients.
