The latest on Methuselah, health span research, and regenerative medicine
Organs are in high demand. Because of this, biomanufactured organs are viewed by many as the next frontier of scientific research and development. Our friends Jordan Miller, Bagrat Grigoryan, and their team at Volumetric Bio are working to make that a reality now. This article discusses where their research is at now and the practical benefits of what they’re doing.
Read MoreThere are 3D bioprinters but no 3D printed usable organs. Why is that? Microvascularization is a key rate limiter preventing humans needing an organ transplant from having it made available to them. In other words, blood needs to get to the 3D printed tissue in order for the tissue to remain alive. Thankfully, a start-up we have proudly supported from inception is developing the necessary tools to solve the microvascularization challenge so that we can have functioning 3D printed organs.
