Researchers 3D print functional human brain tissue with active neural networks
Publicado em 16 de fevereiro de 2024
Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) have developed a novel approach for 3D printing functional human brain tissue.
The 3D printing process can create active neural networks in and between tissues that grow in a matter of weeks.
The researchers believe that their 3D bioprinted brain tissue provides an effective tool for modeling brain network activity under physiological and pathological conditions, and can also serve as a platform for drug [...]

Researchers to study Pitt-Hopkins syndrome with 3D printed neural tissues
Publicado emResearchers from Politecnico di Milano and Humanitas University are investigating the causes and development of neural diseases like Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) using 3D printed neural tissues. The project has been granted €250,000 by Fondazione Cariplo as part of a call for projects under the banner “Biomedical research conducted by young researchers 2021”, and involves creating an in vitro model of the human cerebral cortex with 3D bioprinted [...]ver notícia -
Brazilian researchers develop novel method for 3D printing brain cells
Publicado em 07 fevereiro 2022Researchers from the Federal University of Sao Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have developed a new method to 3D print brain cells that are capable of surviving for at least 14 days after printing. Funded by a research grant from the Sao Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), the study resulted in a model that is reportedly more similar to neural tissue than existing protocols, and which can be used to better understand the functionality of neural cells in relation to central nervous system [...]ver notícia -
Brazilian researchers make functional, 3D printed ‘mini-livers’
Publicado em 18 dezembro 2019The implications of 3D printing are still relatively unexplored. One of these is the idea of using the technology to print biomaterials such as human tissues. Despite recent breakthroughs in the past few years, 3D printed organs that are ready for human transplant are still science-fiction. However, scientists from Brazil are working to bring artificially fabricated organs closer to the realm of reality. The team recently announced that it has successfully 3D printed “mini [...]ver notícia
