Researchers at Lund University have designed a new bioink which allows small human-sized airways to be 3D-bioprinted with the help of patient cells for the first time. The 3D-printed constructs are biocompatible and support new blood vessel growth into the transplanted material. This is an important first step towards 3D-printing organs. The new study has been published in Advanced Materials. Chro

In a recent study, researchers from Lund Stem Cell Center uncover developmental differences in the molecular machinery of the cells that maintain the blood system. These findings provide new insights into how the blood system develops throughout life and identify mechanisms that, if disrupted, may lead to malignancies. The study is published in Cell Reports. The body makes several million blood ce
