Researchers Create 3D-Printed Artificial Skin That Allows Blood Circulation
Swedish researchers have developed two types of 3D bioprinting technology to artificially generate skin containing blood vessels. It could be a breakthrough in the quest to regenerate damaged skin.
They have developed two types of 3D bioprinting techniques to artificially generate thick skin that is vascularized, meaning it contains blood vessels. We don’t even know what all its components are,” said Johan Junker, an associate professor at Linköping University and specialist in plastic surgery who lead this work, in a statement. In a transplantation experiment using mice, the researchers confirmed that living cells grew inside tissue fragments made from this ink, secreting collagen and rebuilding the components of the dermis.
