With the help of a 3D Bio-printer, Professor Che Connon (Tissue Engineering) with his team of Scientists at Newcastle University were finally able to devise a technique in which they were able to blend healthy cells of corneal stem with “collagen” and “alginate”, the types of sugar used in tissue regeneration, with the help of these sugars they together created “bio-ink”, a printable mixture which helps in enabling them to duplicate the shape of a human cornea in just a few minutes. Though this technique yet needs a medical approval to be used for treating patients, once it gets medical […]
