Authors Yoshinari Tsukamoto, Takami Akagi, and Mitsuru Akashi, all from Osaka University, experiment with bioprinting in cardiac medicine, explaining their findings in the recently published ‘ Vascularized cardiac tissue construction with orientation by layer-by-layer method and 3D printer .’

As tissue engineering continues to evolve in labs around the world, reaching the goal of 3D printing human organs hovers ever closer; and while such progress may seem just out of reach for many scientists, the fabrication of 3D tissue in new studies continues at a rapid pace. In this research, the authors continue where they left off in previous work, forging ahead to further refine cardiac tissue engineering. Schematic illustration of the fabrication process for layer-by-layer (LbL) 3D tissue using fibronectin (FN) and gelatin (G) coating technique and cell accumulation technique.
