Cell-Bioink Mixing: Syringe Coupler Method
Overview When bioprinting with a cell-laden bioink, it is important to thoroughly mix your biomaterial (or bioink) with your cells of choice in order to get a homogeneous cell distribution. This protocol…
How to Prepare GelMA Bioink (Sterile-Solution)
Overview GelMA is a highly used material in bioprinting due to its mechanical properties and printability. However, methacrylating gelatin in the lab is an inconveniently time-consuming process. In addition, buying…
Bioprinting For Cardiac Cell & Tissue Engineering Applications
As one of the first groups who are working with Allevi to assess the seemingly endless potential of their bioprinter, we felt it would be good to share a bit…
Parts made to order: The future of tissue engineering is here and now
What is tissue engineering? Tissue engineering forms part of a multidisciplinary field known as regenerative medicine, which includes areas such as stem cell research, molecular biology, gene therapy, biomaterials and…
New Innovations in Stem Cell Tissue Engineering
Introduction Tissue engineering is a rapidly evolving field. It is involved in the repair and replacement of tissues, including bone, cartilage, skin and nerve. Recently, tissue engineers have been developing…
Cardiac tissue engineering and carbon nanohorns
Researchers have struggled to develop good tissue scaffolds for engineering cardiac tissue for regenerative medicine. Now, researchers with the Chinese People’s Armed Police Forces have developed a scaffold using carbon…
Tissue engineering at the crossroads of stem cells and biotechnology
Sometimes, Trends in Biotechnology only pretends to be a life sciences journal: it is as likely to cover cold plasma for food sustainability or red yeasts as chemical factories as genome editing or protein drugs. At…
What is Tissue Engineering?
. Tissue Engineering is an interdisciplinary discipline addressed to create functional three-dimensional (3D) tissues combining scaffolds, cells and/or bioactive molecules. Tissue Engineering is the application of science to improve, restore and…
Using Telehealth for Digestive Diseases
Telehealth solutions are commonly used to manage chronic diseases like diabetes, congestive heart failure, asthma, hypertension, and COPD, yet research on using telehealth for digestive diseases is lacking. Managing Digestive…
A Telehealth Approach in the Fight Against Alzheimer’s Disease
In the United States today, there are more than 5.5 million people living with Alzheimer's and other dementia, and the number is continually growing. As the baby boomer generation ages,…
