Miniature Bioprinter Aims to Improve Vocal Cord Healing, Developed by McGill Researchers
Researchers at the McGill University, supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have created what is being called the smallest bioprinter reported to date—just 2.7 mm wide—that can accurately deliver hydrogels to vocal cords during surgery, helping prevent post-operative stiffness and improve patients’ ability to speak. The study was published in Cell Press journal Device.
