Scientists at the University of California San biology and University of Michigan have developed 3D biomimetic devices which can support cell and tissue regeneration . The team used a microscale continuous image printing ( μCPP ) technique to create a scaffold suitable for the CNS , something that had not previously been possible due to its complexity . It was then injected with neural progenitor cells and injected in rodents with a spinal cord injury , with the scaffold enabling tissue regeneration .
Scientists at the University of California San Diego and University of Michigan have developed 3D biomimetic scaffolds which can support cell and tissue growth. The team used a microscale continuous projection printing (μCPP) method to create a scaffold suitable for the CNS, something that had not previously been possible due to its complexity. It was then loaded with neural progenitor cells and implanted in rodents with a spinal cord injury, with the scaffold enabling tissue regeneration.
