Stress-relaxing granular bioprinting materials enable complex and uniform organoid self-organization - Nature Materials A tunable granular biomaterial matrix is developed to support long-term bioprinting. Stress relaxation at high strains and long timescales is shown to be important for tissue self-organization in inte...

Stress-relaxing granular #bioprinting materials enable complex and uniform organoid self-organization

@katchwreck Gobsmacking... from outside the field, in time as well as specialism, hard to know if the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing is a real thing (but authors state no conflict of interest, so that's alright:) #moderntimes #tissueculture #bioprinting

`Herein, we modified the rheological properties of the bioactive hydrogel by incorporating a thixotropic laponite nanoclay (LPN) and demonstrated that an optimized ratio of collagen methacrylate (ColMA) to LPN forms a self-healing suspension bath, which is enhanced by hydrogen bonding […]

New 3D-printed liver could help treat organ failure without transplant The project, titled Liver Immunocompetent Volumetric Engineering (LIVE), aims to address the shortage of donor organs by developing bioengineered tissue to treat acute liver failure.

A research team led by Adam Feinberg at @cmu.edu has secured $28.5M to develop livers via #3DPrinting to support patients with acute liver failure – allowing their own organs time to regenerate. – @intengineering.bsky.social

A graphic with a quote and modified figure from the linked Nature Communications paper, “Limitations of acyclovir and identification of potent HSV antivirals using 3D bioprinted human skin equivalents” (doi: 10.1038/s41467-025-64245-w). It features Figure 2A, a schematic illustrating the following: “Dermis equivalents were 3D printed onto the apical side of transwell inserts...Keratinocytes were pipetted onto the apical surface of the dermis. In the submerged model, the tissues were infected at the apical surface. In the ALI model, tissues were brought to ALI and then infected at the basolateral surface.” Also a quote from a NCATS article published on January 27, 2026: “This collaborative research showed that the bioprinted 3-D skin tissue model closely replicates the structure and layered organization of human skin and that HSV infects these cells the same way it infects people.”

There is currently no cure for #HSV, and patients can develop resistance to the drug used to manage symptoms.

But thanks to NCATS' 3D Tissue Bioprinting Program, scientists now have the best model yet for testing new treatments.
