BYU Researchers 3D Print First Truly Microfluidic “Lab On a Chip” Device Research & Education

by Medical

As reported by Todd Hollingshead on the official University blog, researchers at Brigham Young University (BYU) are the first to 3D print a viable microfluidic device small enough to be effective at a scale much less than 100 micrometers. Microfluidic devices are tiny chips that can sort out disease biomarkers, cells and other small structures in samples like blood by using microscopic channels incorporated into the devices.

Danish Researchers Implant Most Natural 3D Printed Bone Yet in Mouse Bioprinting

by Medical

As reported by By Birgitte Dalgaard, on the University’s official blog, researchers from SDU (the University of Southern Denmark) have succeeded in 3D printing artificial bones that grow naturally together with the body’s own bones. In mouse experiments the artificial 3D printed bone even formed marrow. This opens up completely new possibilities for patients who need bone implants.

CSI360 Uses 3D Printing to Fight Heart Disease Medical

by Medical

The average heart pumps 100,000 times a day and rarely gets a break. When the heart breaks down, so does our body. That’s why it’s important as ever that we know the right methods and have the right tools to treat the heart when it fails. 3D printing helps develop medical devices to treat heart disease and allows companies, like Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI360), to continually innovate their designs.
