Boston, Stanford researchers create cell-infused 3D printed patches for treatment of ischemia

“Researchers working at Boston University’s Biological Design Center have developed a technique for 3D printing cell-infused patches that can be used to grow healthy blood vessels. The 3D printing technique could be used to treat ischemia. Ischemia is a term that describes when your heart muscle doesn’t get enough oxygen, something that is often caused by narrowing or blockage of the arteries…”
