Exciting news for regenerative medicine!

The Hartgerink Lab at Rice University has developed a new 3D printing technique using peptide-based inks that could help advance regenerative medicine. The group was able to create a hydrogel that can be easily 3D printed into various shapes, including ones that mimic the natural environment of human tissue. It can also be used to embed living cells and promote their growth. This technique is unique because it allows for the printing of peptide-based materials, which are more biocompatible and have more potential for clinical use than other 3D printing materials. The group hopes this technique could help create complex tissues for organ replacement, as well as other medical applications.
