Organ Printing with Better Bio-Ink
October 17, 2017 | Terry Sharrer
Bioprinters require an “ink” that produces uniform droplets. In most instances today that ink is made of methacrylate hydrogel; it is limited, however, by its temperature sensitivity which can result in undesirable thickness. To improve upon this problem, a researcher at the University of British Columbia conducted experiments which showed that a cold soluble gelatin maintains better stability and therefore is better suited to building up uniform layers of organ tissue.
