Collaboration brings technology and consumables together for bioprinting for research applications. Lonza brings a broad range of high-quality human-derived primary cells, stem cells and supporting culture media ideally suited for 3D bioprinting. Allevi to offer these components as part of its package of bioprinters, bioinks and software. Allevi and Lonza announce collaboration to bring the
GE Healthcare Life Sciences and Advanced Solutions Life Sciences (ASLS), a Kentucky-based biotechnology firm, are collaborating to build an integrated 3D bioprinter by combining their respective technologies. ASLS’ BioAssemblyBot 3D bioprinter will be integrated with GE Healthcare Life Sciences’ IN Cell Analyzer confocal imaging platform, as part of a strategic R&D and distribution partnership. By combining the two technologies, the
Using human blood cells, Brazilian researchers have succeeded in obtaining hepatic organoids (“mini-livers”) that perform all of the liver’s typical functions, such as producing vital proteins, storing vitamins, and secreting bile, among many others. The innovation permits the production of hepatic tissue in the laboratory in only 90 days and may in the future become
TissueWorkshop™ makes complex tissue engineering simple for all researchers by generating complex 3D scaffolds that can be printed with any 3D printer Prellis Biologics, Inc. has developed an intuitive web-based interface tailored for biologists and tissue engineers that can be learned in minutes. TissueWorkshop™ takes a set of user inputs and applies generative design principles to produce
SUTD leads in-depth review on the impending reality of 3D printed organs and analyses recent accomplishments, limitations and opportunities for future research. 3D bioprinting is a highly-advanced manufacturing platform that allows for the printing of tissue, and eventually vital organs, from cells. This could open a new world of possibilities for the medical field, while
he world’s first integrated 3D bioprinter + confocal scanner (BioAssemblyBot + GE IN Cell Analyzer 6500HS) Strategic R&D and distribution partnership aims to advance the field of 3D biofabrication. Printed cells with vascularization would be first step toward more complex biological structures for bone, soft tissue, and organ replacements. The partners will create an integrated
To report novel uses of existing medicines for patients with difficult-to-treat infectious diseases The US Food and Drug Administration announced the global launch of CURE ID, an Internet-based repository that will allow the clinical community to report their experiences treating difficult-to-treat infectious diseases with novel uses of existing FDA-approved drugs through a website, a smartphone
Artificial neurons on silicon chips that behave just like the real thing have been invented by scientists of the University of Bath and researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Zurich and Auckland – a first-of-its-kind achievement with enormous scope for medical devices to cure chronic diseases, such as heart failure, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases of
Creating an object from a scratch: not just an illusion, but a reality. Nowadays, there is a way to turn your ideas into three-dimensional objects and here, the magic word is 3D printing. This technique, also called additive manufacturing, consists of successive layer-by-layer depositions of material which, all together, form the desired object. Contrary to conventional
Multinozzle printer can switch between multiple inks up to 50 times per second 3D printers are revolutionizing manufacturing by allowing users to create any physical shape they can imagine on-demand. However, most commercial printers are only able to build objects from a single material at a time and inkjet printers that are capable of multimaterial
