“Dragging 3D Printing” for Small Diameter Blood Vessels
March 19, 2024 | Terry Sharrer
“[The] dragging 3D printing technique used here enables the fabrication of a construct that satisfies the multi-layered, free-form graft condition. This technique can build the desired physiological construct by sequentially arranging cell-laden bioink printing. The ability and mechanical properties of the graft to mimic the autologous construct also affect the ability of the graft to withstand the physiological environment after transplantation. Therefore, the S-SDV [spontaneous cellular assembly small diameter vessels] could be an attractive alternative for the fabrication of artificial SDVs.” MORE
