Custom Scaffolds for Bioprinting Different Tissues
July 13, 2021 | Terry Sharrer
Washington State University engineers have created a new bioink and means for fabricating tissue scaffolds that more closely mimic natural tissues. “The ingredients for their scaffold include gelatin, gum Arabic, and sodium alginate, which are all common thickening agents used in many processed foods. Similar to the way a thick rope is made of braided strands, the researchers used three separate chemical processes to tie their three ingredients together into one scaffold material for printing.” MORE
