  • Impact, visibility and connection: Dr Ibrahim Tarik Ozbolat talks open access publishing with IOP Publishing

    Dr. Ibrahim Tarik Ozbolat is professor in the Engineering Science and Mechanics Department of Penn State. He is a specialist in 3D bioprinting, artificial organs, and regenerative medicine and has recently published a paper in the journal Biofabrication which looks at a new way to generate microgels.   Our latest study shows a new technique to make larger quantities of microgels […]

  • Mapping the future direction for bioprinting research

    The way research in bioprinting will be taken forward has been laid out in a roadmap for the field. Published today in IOP Publishing’s Biofabrication, leading researchers define the status, challenges and opportunities in the field, and forecast the required advances in science & technology to overcome the challenges to a range of bioprinting techniques […]

  • New handheld bioprinter holds promise for treating serious burns

    A team of researchers in Canada have successfully trialled a new handheld 3D skin printer, which treats severe burns by ‘printing’ new skins cells directly onto a wound. Although the new system is in the early stages of development, it may eventually provide a way to treat patients whose burn injuries are too extensive to […]

  • Human skin pigmentation recreated – with a 3D bioprinter

    A new method for controlling pigmentation in fabricated human skin has been developed by researchers from A*STAR’s Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) and the Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP) at Nanyang Technological University. In their paper, publishing today in Biofabrication, the team show how they utilise 3D bioprinting to control the distribution of […]
