NEW HAMPSHIRE: New NSF EPSCoR funded research paper
New Hampshire EPSCoR BioMade researcher Ahasan Habib and students, Keene State College, have a new paper, “Tuning Shear Thinning Factors of 3D Bio-Printable Hydrogels Using Short Fiber,” published in Materials.
FROM THE ABSTRACT
Among various available 3D bioprinting techniques, extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting allows the deposition of cell-laden bioink, ensuring predefined scaffold architecture that may offer living tissue regeneration. With a combination of unique characteristics such as biocompatibility, less cell toxicity, and high water content, natural hydrogels are a great candidate for bioink formulation for the extrusion-based 3D bioprinting process.
