Revolutionary Bioprinter Produces Human Tissue in Record Time
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Interesting Engineering
Researchers at Penn State have developed a new 3D bioprinting technique called High-throughput Integrated Tissue Fabrication System for Bioprinting (HITS-Bio), which can rapidly produce complex biological tissues using cell clusters known as spheroids. This method is ten times faster than existing techniques and maintains high cell viability, enabling the creation of functional tissues and potentially accelerating organ replacement and disease modeling. The technique has shown promising results in rat models, significantly speeding up bone repair.
