How to make a tiny bioscaffold for tissue engineering (timelapse) (VIDEO)
Caption
Researchers have flipped traditional 3D printing to create some of the most intricate biomedical structures yet, advancing the development of new technologies for regrowing bones and tissue. Instead of making bioscaffolds directly, the RMIT University team 3D printed moulds with intricately-patterned cavities then filled them with biocompatible materials, before dissolving the moulds away. This video shows the final stage of the method - a mould made of PVA glue is dissolved in water to leave behind an elaborate bioscaffold.
