    Artificial organs reproduce miracles

    Scientists print a beating heart

    Recently, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have found a solution


    In the latest study, the FRESH 3D bioprinting method developed in Feinberg's lab allows collagen to be deposited layer-by-layer in a support gel, giving the collagen a chance to solidify before being removed from the support gel

    This method of FRESH is very exciting for the field of 3D bioprinting because it allows collagen scaffolds to be printed on large-scale human organs


    In the near future, Feinberg said, work on repairing hearts that have lost function, such as due to heart disease or liver damage, will be carried out


    Despite the long way to go, we are one step closer to realizing the dream of 3D bioprinting a full-scale human heart

    Implement more complex geometries


    FRESH has quickly become the bioprinting platform of choice for many tissue engineers


    FRESH can be integrated into standard bioprinting workflows and implemented on extrusion bioprinters such as the BIO X™


    FRESH 3D bioprinting on the BIO X™ is as simple as placing the prepared LifeSupport™ tray on the print platform and placing the print needle in the center of the tray to start manufacturing complex geometries



    Explore some of the most promising potential research directions:


    First: complex printing of class organization


    Second: the formation of vascularized tissue

    Third: Multi-material bioprinting

     

    By combining the BIO X™ bioprinter with FRESH, researchers can tap into new frontiers of printing complexity and functionality previously only dreamed of
