Researchers at Newcastle University are using human stem cells in a special bio-ink to 3D print artificial corneas. There are millions of people in need of replacing the crucial part of the eye and this new method could one day provide a solution. Re…

Researchers create the first 3D-printed corneas
Researchers at Newcastle University have been able to 3D-print a biocompatible corneal framework using a new gel formulations that “keeps the stem cells alive whilst producing a material which is stiff enough to hold its shape but soft enough to be squeezed out the nozzle of a 3D printer.” There is a significant shortage of […]
