3D bio-printing for artificial blood vessels

3D bioprinting for artificial blood vessels Why in the discussion? Recently scientists have developed a 3D printing technique that can recreate the complex geometry of blood vessels. Probably in the near future, it can be used in the manufacture of artificial arteries and organ tissues. Important point The purpose of 3D bioprinting was to add independent mechanical properties to 3D structures that could mimic the body's natural tissue. This technique facilitates the creation of microstructures that can be used in the treatment of various diseases. This is an encouraging step towards building structures that function like healthy cells. Researchers printed a small statue of a Chinese warrior as a demonstration. While printing, a technique was used to keep the outer layers solid, while the inner layers were soft. Researchers are hopeful that future studies will help improve its capabilities even more. The findings of such studies may prove to be better for the treatment of people suf
