Printing Bone Tissue sounds like a great idea, but 3D printers typically use heat to melt layers together, which means that incorporating Cells during the printing process is nearly impossible. **w a partnership between Scientists at University of **ttingham in the UK and Cornell University in New York have developed a way of printing bone-like biocompatible material at room temperature and seeding it With special microspheres capable of releasing Pre-Loaded proteins.
The material is a thermoresponsive microparticulate based on PLGA (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)). It is similar in strength to cancellous Bone Tissue and can help sustain Live Cells in addition to the microspheres.
