February 3, 2022 Leave a Comment It has been a while since we have covered anything in the domain of bioprinting. It’s not that we don’t like writing about bioprinting around here, but given the current state of technological readiness there is a very fine line between a 3D printed heart, and a 3D printed steak, functionally speaking. But bioprinting goes beyond simply just (eventually) printing large transplantable organs. The precision of the CNC guided bioprinting toolhead can deliver materials of various properties to make other biological systems too. And that is exactly what Prellis Biologics have been doing with their 3D printed lymph nodes, as revealed in a recent press release. Human immune cells in a printed lymph node (Image credit: Prellis Biologics) Prellis Biologics had previously dabbled in the realm of 3D printed organoids (such as kidneys) but have since shifted their expertise to smaller organoids such as… read more
