AI & AM: Making Custom Implants

Professionals who need exquisite dexterity in their work may suffer physically from disorders like rheumatoid arthritis or accidents to their joints, which could possibly end their careers. However, there may be some hope in sight owing to a specialized cooperation from the Fraunhofer Institute, AI, and some good ol’ 3D printing.

3D bioprinted stem cell-derived eye tissues

A method for 3D bioprinting eye tissues utilising patient stem cells has been developed by researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) in the United States. The researchers claim that by using their method, which involves printing three different kinds of immature choroidal cells onto a biodegradable scaffold, it would be possible to produce an endless supply of tissues taken from patients. These, in turn, may enable medical professionals to comprehend the underlying mechanisms of prevalent degenerative retinal illnesses like age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Implants made from 3D bioprinting

Experts in regenerative medicine CollPlant have declared that their patented 3D bioprinted breast implants have passed animal testing. The implants made by CollPlant are bioprinted from “rhCollagen,” a plant-based substitute for human collagen, and are intended to encourage cell regeneration before slowly integrating into host tissues over time.
The business now intends to carry out additional research on implants that resemble “commercial-size items” before conducting human trials and bringing them to market after reporting “promising results” from its most recent tests.

3D Printed Ultrasounds: Giving Sight to the Blind

3D printing is a fast-growing industry, and the 3D-printed ultrasound is no exception. A 3D ultrasound is an image of a fetus that has been created through a 3D printer. It can be used as a medical tool to diagnose abnormalities in the fetus, or it can be used as an educational tool to illustrate the development of the fetus over time.

3D Printed Self-healing Skin

Hydrogels infused with fungus mycelia have been produced by researchers at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland as a method of 3D printing a self-repairing skin. If the fungal network is allowed to metabolise, the skin will heal itself when it is damaged, and it does this by ingesting nutrients. It is a living entity since it has the ability to undergo metabolism. It is the epitome of a cybernetic organism
