3D-Printed Microfibers Could Speed Development of Artificial Body Parts

Engineers are exquisitely aware that the structural framework for things like buildings or cars provide the necessary strength and shape for the constructed material. Now, bioengineers from Penn State University (PSU) believe they have just found a way to create the structural framework for growing living tissue using an off-the-shelf 3D printer. Findings from the new study—published recently in the Journal of Advanced Healthcare Materials in an article entitled “ 3D Near-Field Elect
