Researchers have successfully 3D printed a living cornea using stem cells, marking a breakthrough in bioprinting for transplant applications. The study demonstrates the potential for bespoke corneal grafts tailored to individual patients. #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/researchers-successfully-3d-print-living-cornea

At RIT, a PhD candidate is advancing reconstructive surgery with 3D printed zinc implants. The absorbable metal provides temporary mechanical support during bone healing, then degrades naturally as new tissue grows, avoiding the need for removal operations. https://3dprint.com/325991/3d-printing-news-briefs-5-14-2026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

So they 3D-printed living human heart tissue that contracts on its own. Canadian lab update for drug testing and disease modeling, not full organ replacement yet.
Stanford’s work on printing vascular networks is tackling the keep-it-alive problem. We’re stacking the necessary pieces, but a complete transplant-ready heart is still years away.

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a 3D-printed biomimetic tissue substitute that mimics natural tissue mechanics using polyurethane acrylate, a wavy metastructure, and electrospun collagen. The design replicates nonlinear stress-strain behaviour found in tissues like the pericardium, addressing a key limitation of conventional polymers. https://3dprinting.com/news/fraunhofer-researchers-3d-print-biomimetic-tissue-substitute-file-patent/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

UK researchers at the University of Nottingham are using two-photon polymerisation 3D printing to study how cells respond to shape, potentially enabling better tissue healing. https://3dprint.com/325536/3d-printing-could-show-how-cells-respond-to-shape-and-heal-new-uk-research-finds/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

This is the kind of science headline that instantly sparks imagination: a reported living 3D-printed cornea tied to vision restoration.

Central Vietnam's first robotic knee replacement surgery used real-time 3D modeling to guide the procedure. The technique allows surgeons to create patient-specific implants during surgery, potentially reducing wait times and improving outcomes for patients in the region. https://3dprinting.com/news/real-time-3d-modeling-drives-central-vietnams-first-robotic-knee-replacement/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

Researchers have explored how 3D printing can support the development of polysaccharide-based microneedles for cancer immunotherapy. The study, published in Glycoscience & Therapy, focuses on using natural polymer materials to enable minimally invasive transdermal drug delivery systems that combine treatment with immune activation. https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/polysaccharide-microneedles-and-3d-printing-explored-for-cancer-immunotherapy-applications-250399/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Medical #Bioprinting
