A biodegradable material that mimics bone was used for Bone Tissue Engineering in animals

13-Aug-2018

Key points from article :

Bone tissue engineering aims to facilitate bone repair.

BTE combines materials science, tissue engineering & regenerative medicine.

Pennsylvania State University can 3D print porous, bone-like constructs.

Uses a composite ink that has shown positive outcomes in an animal model.

Capacity to differentiate into osteoblasts during osteogenesis was observed.

Also showed improved cell proliferation and increased gene expression.

The study was published in the Journal of Materials Research.
