Multi-material 3D bioprinter for use in drug testing/screening supporting cancer drug discovery.
Cancer testing/screening procedures used in developing new drug therapies take years and are founded on the use of 2D cell cultures and animal models prior to human trials. This pathway is not always representative of how a drug will perform in humans since 2D technology cannot print multi-material bio-cell structures for evaluating new drug performance....

MIXING PEN AND BIO PRINTER FOR IN-SITU DELIVERY OF POLYMERS/ BIOMATERIALS
3D bioprinting is a relatively new specialty used in the field of tissue engineering for combining cells, biomaterials, and growth factors to manufacture tissue-like structures/organs to assist in research and in reconstructive/regenerative surgeries for the rebuilding of damaged organs. Current 3D bioprinting techniques are high cost, limited in their...

Use of Silver-containing Layers in and on Implant Surfaces
BackgroundMedical devices implanted in the human body can react with internal bio fluids and cause infection or compromise the health of surrounding bone and/or tissue. Treating infections with antibiotics is not always desired because it can be difficult to direct the antibiotic to the specifically needed location, treatment can take between 3 to 14...
