3D bioprinting: NMI, TU Darmstadt and Black Drop develop improved bioink

3D bioprinting is a great hope in the field of regenerative medicine in order to produce miniaturized tissue and organ precursors with biological functionality. Today, however, scientists are still working on enabling nutrient transport in the 3D-printed tissue, for example. Researchers at the NMI in Reutlingen, the TU Darmstadt and Black Drop Biodrucker GmbH have now made important progress by incorporating electro-spun fibers into the bio-ink. This measurably improves nutrient transport.
