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

Polysaccharide microneedles and 3D printing explored for cancer immunotherapy applications - 3D Printing Industry

Researchers have reviewed the use of polysaccharide-based microneedles (PMNs) for cancer immunotherapy, examining how additive manufacturing methods, including 3D printing, can support the development of transdermal drug delivery systems. The study, published in Glycoscience & Therapy, focuses on the role of natural polymer materials in enabling minimally invasive treatment approaches that combine drug delivery with […]

ETH Zurich researchers have 3D printed elastic ear cartilage from human cells. The bioprinted cartilage retained its shape after implantation in animal models, bringing personalized solutions for patients with ear malformations or injuries one step closer. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/3d-bioprinting-of-elastic-ear-cartilage-20032026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Medical #Bioprinting

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).`

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.
