University of Wollongong Researchers 3D Print Brain Tissue From Human

“When it comes to treating disease and injury, the brain might be the most difficult organ in the entire body. Everything else in the body is controlled by the brain, so damage or malfunction within the brain can have a devastating effect on everything from motor skills to personality. But scientists at the University of Wollongong-based ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) are working on developing new treatments for brain injury and illness using 3D printing.

The treatment is based on the 3D printing of tissue from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are stem cells that have the capability of differentiating into any type of adult cell, including brain cells. The ACES researchers have come up with a way to 3D print iPSCs, using a custom-developed bioink. The iPSCs can be taken from any living person, and can be 3D printed in a way that incorporates properties of the natural cell environment…”
