3D Printed Motor Neuron Organoids by Uppsala Researchers Could Accelerate ALS Drug Development
Researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden have developed 3D printed models from patient-derived cells to simulate motor neurons in the lab. These structures, known as motor neuron organoids, are expected to support research into neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and help explore treatment strategies without the need for invasive procedures.
Construction 3DP central to Canadian Indigenous housing project Construction 3D Printing
In Canada, Indigenous communities face a serious housing crisis, with the Assembly of First Nations reporting that well over 150,000 new homes are required in order to begin to close the housing gap. To help address this urgent need for housing, Toronto-based real estate developer Horizon Legacy has teamed up with Two Row Architect, a native-owned firm from Six Nations of the Grand River reserve in southern Ontario. Together, the partners are breaking ground on a new construction project that will use robotic 3D printing technology to build a three-story residential building.
United Utilities pioneers 3D printing adoption for water infrastructure Industrial Additive Manufacturing
United Utilities, a British water supply company, is progressing its plans to adopt 3D printing methods across its AMP8 delivery and daily operations.
