3-D Printing of Graphene Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
August 18, 2015 | Terry Sharrer
Once you know what’s happening, it looks simple—“once you know” being the hard part. Bioengineers at Northwestern University have created an ink for 3-D printing of tissues that relies on mixing nano flakes of graphene with a biocompatible elastomer and fast evaporating solvents. The result is a strong scaffold for growing cells into tissue after they have been printed on this structure. MORE
