scientists create new bio-ink for 3d printing

Scientists at the University of Bristol have discovered a new creature.
Ink for 3D printing, with stem cells, allowing printing of living tissues known as organismsprinting. The new bio-
The ink contains two different polymer components: natural polymers extracted from seaweed and sacrificial synthetic polymers used in the medical industry.
\"Design New Creatures
The ink is very challenging.
You need a printable material that is strong enough to maintain its shape when immersed in nutrients and is harmless to cells.
We managed to do this, \"said Adam perliman, chief researcher at the school of Cell and Molecular Medicine.
Synthetic polymers lead to organisms
When the temperature rises, the ink changes from liquid to solid, and seaweed polymers provide structural support when cellular nutrients are introduced.
\"Special creatures.
Perriman added: \"The ink formula is squeezed out from a modified desktop 3D printer as a liquid that turns into a gel at 37 degrees Celsius, which makes the complex live 3D
The findings, published in the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials, can help print complex tissues using the patient\'s own stem cells for surgical bone or cartilage implants that can be used for knee and hip surgery
The team was able to differentiate stem cells into bone cells.
A cell that secreted a bone cell substance, which is secreted into a cartilage matrix and embedded in it --
Design the 3D printing organizational structure within five weeks, including the complete
The cartilage of the trachea is large and small.
\"What is really surprising to us is that when cellular nutrients are introduced, synthetic polymers are completely drained from the 3D structure leaving only stem cells and natural seaweed polymers, perriman said.
This creates tiny pores structurally, providing a more effective nutrient channel for stem cells.
