Printing Muscles and Tendons
August 28, 2018 | Terry Sharrer
Using 3-D bioprinting and a novel microplate, biochemical engineers in Zurich and Basel were able to build up muscles and tendons in “layers of photo-polymerized gelatin-methacryloyl-based bioink and cell suspensions in a dumbbell shape onto a newly designed cell culture insert in 24-well plates containing two vertical posts. The cells show high viability after printing in culture and good tissue differentiation based on marker gene and protein expressions.” MORE
