Mapping The Future Direction For Bioprinting Research
The way research in bioprinting will be taken forward has been laid out in a roadmap for the field. Published today in IOP Publishing's Biofabrication, leading researchers define the status, challenges and opportunities in the field, and forecast the required advances in science & technology to overcome the challenges to a range of bioprinting techniques and applications. Dr. Vladimir Mironov, the CSO of VIVAX BIO, and Professor Lorenzo Moroni explore how researchers are pushing boundaries with bioprinting in space.
El Paso Scientists To Deliver 3D Bioprinted Miniature Hearts to the ISS
Biomedical researchers from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso (TTUHSC El Paso) and The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) are collaborating to develop artificial mini-hearts using 3D bioprinting technology for space.
ISS cosmonauts bioprint bone tissue in space using 3dbio’s magnetic bioprinter
For the first time in the world, Russian scientists from 3D Bioprinting Solutions (3dbio) were able to bioprint bone tissue in space by growing fragments of bone structure in zero-gravity conditions. During experiments on the ISS, tissue samples were made from calcium phosphate ceramics, which were populated with living cells. These sample are now currently being comprehensively studied on Earth. In the future, this technology will enable the creation of bone implants for transplantation to cosmonauts on long-range interplanetary expeditions.
BRAZILIAN SCIENTISTS 3D BIOPRINT FUNCTIONAL MINI-LIVERS
Scientists from the Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center (HUG-CELL) University of São Paulo (USP), have utilized 3D bioprinting to develop functional hepatic organoids, otherwise known as mini-livers.
In August 2019 3D Bioprinting Solutions carried out a high molecular weight protein crystallization experiment on board the ISS with Organ.Aut magnetic bioprinter and specials cuvettes (fig. 1a). In this experiment scientists and engineers from 3DBio used a new method – magnetic sedimentation of protein molecules in a paramagnetic solution in a inhomogenous magnetic field and diffusion of the precipitator into protein solution.
