3D Bioprinting with Stem Cells for Soft Tissue EngineeringFriday, 18 March 2016 at 14:00  Add to Calendar ▼2016-03-17 14:30:002016-03-17 15:30:00Europe/London3D Bioprinting with Stem Cells for Soft Tissue EngineeringSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.comThe introduction of 3D-bioprinting is expected to revolutionize the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, which enables the reconstruction of living tissue and organs using the patient’s own cells. We have developed novel bioinks based on polysaccharide nanofibrils with unique combination of printing fidelity good mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Nanofibril dispersion have extremely shear thinning properties and high zero shear viscosity. 3D bioprinting fidelity which is achieved with these bioinks made it possible to print complex cartilage tissue shapes such as ear, nose and meniscus.
