Bioprinting Technique Brings Vascularized Tissue One Step Closer

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University report that they have built a first-of-its-kind microphysiologic system, or tissue model, entirely out of collagen using their Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique. They say this advancement expands the capabilities of how researchers can study disease and build tissues for therapy, such as type 1 diabetes. Traditionally, tiny models of human tissue that m…

Breakthrough in Bioprinting Advances Development of Vascularized Tissues

In a groundbreaking advancement in the field of biomedical engineering, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have unveiled a revolutionary 3D bioprinting technique that harnesses the intrinsic properties of collagen to create fully biologic tissue models. The innovative approach, known as Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH), has allowed scientists to fabricate microphysiologic systems that closely mimic human physio…

FRESH bioprinting brings vascularized tissue one step closer - Scientific Inquirer

Collagen is well-known as an important component of our skin, but its impact is much greater, as it is the most abundant protein in the body, providing structure and support to nearly all tissues and organs. Using their novel Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for the printing of soft living cells and tissues, Carnegie Mellon’s Feinberg lab has built a first-of-its-kind microphysio…

3D Printing Skin Is Set to Change Wound Care in South Africa!

Wound care is making a massive technological leap thanks to collaboration at the University of Pretoria where 3D printing could change everything!   South Africa (23 April 2025) – Wounds that need to heal “on their own” such as deep burns or ulcers that can’t be stitched closed are a burden and drain on healthcare budgets and, more tragically, they seriously affect the patients’ quality of life. The wound care for these issues is a skin graft bu…
