3D Printing Multivascular Networks with Biocompatible Hydrogels
June 4, 2019 | Terry Sharrer
This piece from researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and four university labs “. . . show that natural and synthetic food dyes can be used as photoabsorbers that enable stereolithographic production of hydrogels containing intricate and functional vascular architectures. Using this approach, they demonstrate functional vascular topologies for studies of fluid mixers, valves, intervascular transport, nutrient delivery, and host engraftment.” MORE
