3D-printed tissue
3D bioprinting allows for the precise fabrication of complex biological tissues and organs, which could be used to repair or replace damaged tissues in the body. It can also be used to create personalized medical implants and devices that are tailored to the individual patient. We use 3D tissue cultures, scaffolds based on extracellular matrix components and study their combination with sensors. The field of 3D bioprintingis still in its early stages, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we treat diseases and injuries.
