3D-printing for making artificial Blood vessels
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
