Inventors at Stanford University have developed a light-based 3D printing system that achieves high printing resolutions and fast printing speeds with cell-compatible natural protein biomaterials when compared to existing methods.
Researchers at Stanford University have formulated a novel biomaterial suitable for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting: a homogeneous composite of polycaprolactone (PCL), gelatin, and beta-tricalcium phosphate.
Current injectable hydrogel materials have fast erosion and limited tunability of their mechanical properties at different stages of applications, limiting their biomedical applications.
Engineers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab have developed highly conductive, stretchable composite hydrogel materials that can be used as soft electrodes that match the mechanical properties of a range of biological tissues.
