Bioprinting

TwitterFacebook

Bioprinting takes 3d printing and additive manufacturing into a whole new dimension. By laying down layers of cells we have the prospect of developing replacement tissues and organs, direct healing of wounds, and interfaces between bio and mechanical worlds--a kind of meso-scale synthetic biology. In this tree, we track developments in the use of cells and other biomaterials in 3d printing, with a look at biomimetics, regenerative medicine, and bio/electrical and bio/mechanical interfaces. Here we also will put stuff on solid modeling of bio stuff and implants and prosthetics developed with 3d printing techniques for custom fit. gerald.barnett Jun 27

Biofabrication uses cells or biologics as basic building blocks in which biological models, systems, devices and products are manufactured. http://www.mem.drexel.edu/BFLab/index.html
