Pipe SVD5 3D-printing for making artificial Blood vessels

3D-printing for making artificial Blood vessels

by
in science on (#SVD5)
Blood vessels are vital parts of the body's circulatory system that supply the organs with nutrients and remove waste. Scientists have developed artificial tissue from the heart, liver and lungs, but creating a synthetic

network of blood vessels to support these organs has been a challenge.

Scientists from the Universities of Sydney, Harvard, Stanford and MIT have been working together to overcome this challenge.

Now, the researchers have created artificial blood vessels in a lab using 3D-printing methods. The bioprinted structures could be used for transplants or for testing new drug.

This new study is published online in the journal "Lab on a Chip".Read more.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6exhQfJUdlU&list=PLK2ccNIJVPpC7ny_lpawhue_k3pfwqTQ2

Right now, t
he bioprinactedual structures don't bear much resemblance to what you'd find in a person -- you get a "spaghetti bowl" of vessels. Scientists hope to organize these vessels the way they exist in nature, though. If that happens, you could bone uday see artificial tissue samples and foreven transplants that are about as r for tealistic as you cang new druget.
