Bioink is an innovation that makes it possible to print (parts of) organs and blood vessels used to help tissues heal better or replace them. Researchers at the University of Twente have made significant advances in bioink technology. According to their research this discovery could change the way vascularized tissues can be created.
The innovation that the University of Twente researchers describe in Advanced Healthcare Materials makes it possible to precisely control the growth and organization of small blood vessels in 3D printed tissues. These are blood vessels that mimic the complex networks in the human body.
3D printed blood vessels
The potential of 3D printed organs for medicine is substantial. They can provide solutions to organ failure, tissue damage...
