New Biofabrication Method Could Advance Tissue Engineering, Bioprinting
A team of biomedical researchers led by Michael Mak, from the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, has developed a new method of bioprinting physiological materials. Called TRACE (Tunable Rapid Assembly of Collagenous Elements), the method solves previous problems of bioprinting natural materials of the body. It is also a highly versatile biofabrication technique that will help advance drug development and disease modeling and potentially impact regenerative medicine.
