Researchers develop 3D bioprinting technology for eliminating cancer cells
News-Medical.Net July 11, 2023
A three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology capable of eliminating cancer cells using the function of immune cells has been developed for the first time in the world.
Through joint research with the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Sang Jin Park, hereinafter referred to as KIMM), the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (President Jang Seong Kim, hereinafter referred to as KRIBB), institute under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Science and ICT, developed a 3D bioprinting technology using natural killer cells (NK cells) as a new method of immunotherapy for treating cancer, and announced the outcome of the research on Biomaterials Research (IF: 11. 3), a renowned journal.
Allowing the 3D-printed hydrogels to encapsulate NK cells helps to...
