Researchers in Turkey are 3D printing with PLA in a new study regarding human dermal fibroblasts and tissue engineering of skin cells.
.
Their new findings are outlined in ‘ 3D Printed Polyactic Acid Scaffold for Dermal Tissue Engineering Application: The Fibroblast Proliferation in vitro ,’ as the team from Dokuz Eylul University experimented with two different pore sizes while seeding HDFs.

Tissue engineering of skin cells could lead to critical breakthroughs for new methods of wound healing. As in most forms of tissue engineering, the researchers use bioprinted scaffolding as structures to nurture cell growth, serving as a substitute for the human extracellular matrix (ECM). For healing, the goal is for fibroblasts to infiltrate a wound with ECM proteins, and in some cases to act as drug delivery systems. Scaffolds must be biocompatible, biodegradable, and possess suitable mechanical properties for performance in an area where the challenge of keeping […]
