The Amazon Prime show Scarpetta portrays 3D bioprinted human organs created in microgravity. In reality, scientists are making progress but full organs remain years away. Redwire has printed tissue on the ISS, while United Therapeutics, Stanford, and Wake Forest work on vascularization and organ scaffolds. https://3dprint.com/324697/tvs-scarpetta-suggests-we-can-3d-print-full-human-organs-reality-is-not-yet/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Healthcare #Bioprinting

TV’s Scarpetta Suggests We Can 3D Print Full Human Organs. Reality Is… Not Yet - 3DPrint.com | Additive Manufacturing Business

Having spent a good part of my journalistic career covering crime stories, it’s hard for me to stay away from any crime or medical forensic drama. So when Scarpetta premiered...

@katchwreck Gobsmacking... from outside the field, in time as well as specialism, hard to know if the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing is a real thing (but authors state no conflict of interest, so that's alright:) #moderntimes #tissueculture #bioprinting

`Herein, we modified the rheological properties of the bioactive hydrogel by incorporating a thixotropic laponite nanoclay (LPN) and demonstrated that an optimized ratio of collagen methacrylate (ColMA) to LPN forms a self-healing suspension bath, which is enhanced by hydrogen bonding interactions and is capable of in situ crosslinking. This printing strategy was generalized as the embedded 3D printing in cell-dense suspension (EPICS).`

UvA physicists 3D-printed #SoftMatter in zero gravity aboard MAPHEUS-16. COLORS experiment revealed how internal stresses form in droplets—key for stronger 3D-printed materials and #bioprinting, both in space and on Earth.

Rocket science? 3D printing soft matter in zero gravity

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km before falling back to Earth, providing six minutes of weightlessness.
