A 3D bioprinter can produce over 100,000 organoids daily, and nano-robots are small enough to swim upstream in our blood vessels—these concepts, once confined to science fiction, are now transitioning from the laboratory to reality, quietly reshaping the future of the pharmaceutical industry. Can you imagine? An organoid that beats like a heart can actually … Read more
1. Development Background and Technical Needs in Alternative Toxicology 1.1 Limitations of Traditional Toxicology Methods Traditional toxicology relies on animal testing and two-dimensional cell cultures, which have significant drawbacks: animal testing fails to accurately predict about 60% of hepatotoxic drugs due to interspecies differences (e.g., mouse vs. human liver metabolism), as seen in the troglitazone … Read more
According to a report by Reference News on September 5, as reported by Popular Mechanics on August 20, when most people think of “skin,” what comes to mind is actually the epidermis—the outermost layer of skin that renews approximately every month. However, the main functional activities of the skin occur in the dermis (the middle … Read more
Recently, a study published in the prestigious international journal Advanced Healthcare Materials has brought groundbreaking progress in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). This research was conducted by a team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Neurosurgery, and Stem Cell Research Institute at the University of Minnesota, focusing on the development of a 3D … Read more
Introduction Can a “bridge” be built at the site of a spinal cord injury to reconnect nerve signals? A team from the University of Minnesota published groundbreaking research in Advanced Healthcare Materials: using 3D printed scaffolds to guide stem cells to successfully differentiate into spinal organoids in vivo, which, after transplantation, successfully “reconnected” severed nerve … Read more
Tsinghua University researchers recently announced that they have developed a new application for 3D printing that could change the way doctors study and treat kidney cancer. The research team developed a method for bioprinting kidney tumors directly from patient cells. This creates a hyper-realistic model that replicates the complex environment of the tumor in vivo.Their … Read more
The incidence of renal cancer is rising year by year, placing a heavy burden on patients and their families. Clinically, Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) patients are insensitive to chemotherapy, and the efficacy of targeted therapies varies from person to person, making the formulation of precise treatment plans a challenge. Tumor heterogeneity is considered a key … Read more
