“Researchers at MIT and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed a 3D-printed microfluidic bioreactor that can be used to culture and study brain organoids. . . . .   The researchers use a biocompatible resin (which is also used in dentistry) as a printed material and UV light to cure the resin before use. The printed bioreactors contain a glass slide above the wells in which the organoids reside so that they can be easily viewed, and inlet ports so that the researchers can add nutrient medium or drugs that are being studied.”  MORE
