In January, The Murdoch Children's Institute (MCRI) in Melbourne announced it would install the country's first 3D biometer.
, the hospital has implemented its own plan and will use this 3D bio-printer to study kidney disease.
mcCRI already has a stem cell medical research program, and the addition of new bio-printers will further advance this world-class research.
has long plagued Australia, with about $1 billion of the federal budget spent on treating chronic kidney disease.
, the incidence of the disease is also on the rise, up about 6 per cent year-on-year.
, Australia welcomes more innovative ways to treat this persistent disease.
use of 3D printing technology and stem cells could have a significant positive impact on health care in the country.
installation of new bioprinting is the result of MCI's collaboration with Organovo, a global 3D bioprinting specialist.
organic tissues developed by Organovo, which are mainly used for drug testing.
testing new drugs in bioprinted tissue rather than in human subjects shortens time-to-market and makes the drug testing process safer.
MCRI will also involve drug testing, although their ultimate goal is to develop alternative transplanted organs.
team is currently working on a 3D-printed miniature kidney with a diameter of about 5 mm for research.
3D bioprinter will be able to print more accurate kidney models using stem cell biology," said Professor Melissa Little, director of the MCRI Kidney Research Laboratory in New South China.
this is initially significant for modeling diseases and screening drugs, we hope this will also be the first step in regenerative medicine for kidney disease, " he said.
, we wanted to print a kidney that was big enough and functional enough to transplant it into the patient's body and improve their kidney function.
