Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh develop 3D-printed collagen scaffolds, enabling organic tissue models that mimic ...

The first tests of 3D-printed hydrogels in cell culture were very successful. The cross-linked materials are non-cytotoxic and mechanically stable. "In the next step, the 3D-printed models (skin ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

Human cell models may never be as good as the real thing ... “This is the type of information that can not be obtained in animal models, yet it often leads to complications and failures in clinical ...

D printing technology is used to create lifelike skin with living human cells * Synthetic skin mimics human responses for testing cosmetics and medical //treatments * Animal testing could be ...

Emerging techniques, such as 3D cell culture models and organ-on-a-chip ... form of routine contamination testing should be carried out at regular intervals. Any animal-derived reagents such as FBS ...

Researchers have shown that activation of the protein YAP, which helps tumours grow, differs between two- and three-dimensional culture models, pointing to more predictive systems for testing cancer ...
