UCSD researchers make 3D printed blood vessel networks with ultra-fast UV bioprinting system

“Researchers at the University of California San Diego have used 3D bioprinting to develop a functional blood vessel network. The researchers say their work could advance the creation of artificial organs and regenerative therapies. Most experts in the biomedical community agree that 3D bioprinting holds huge promise for someday creating artificial humans organs, reducing the need for human donors and potentially saving millions and millions of lives. If this potential future is to become a reality, however, one of the biggest obstacles researchers face is the creation of functioning vasculatures, the parts of organs that allow blood to flow…”
