3D printed microfluidic device offers alternative for personalized cancer treatment Medical

by Medical

Treating cancer can be a challenging process that is often highly taxing on the patient being undergoing therapies. Because there is no way to know what types of therapy will be most effective for a given patient’s case, there is still an element of trial and error that comes into play—meaning that patients sometimes undergo various types of treatment before the most effective therapy is found. For obvious reasons, many biomedical researchers are looking for an alternative solution.

Harvard Wyss researchers develop 3D printing workflow to predict leaky heart valves Medical

by Medical

Researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have created a novel 3D printing workflow that allows cardiologists to evaluate how different heart valve sizes will interact with each patient’s unique anatomy before the medical procedure is actually performed. The possibility of using material jetting 3D printing to produce more proficient implantable heart valves has been amply demonstrated. In this research project, the scientists also demonstrate that 3D printing can be used as a key tool to design even more accurate replacement valves, reducing time requirements on the operating table and improving the patient’s quality of life and recovery.
