LIST a technique used to bioprint neurons as reviewed by Conn Hastings, Sept. 31, 2021 Medgaget.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A team at Concordia University in Montreal have developed a technique called Laser-Induced Side Transfer (LIST) that allows for bioprinting of neurons. Low energy laser pulses are directed at a capillary containing a cell-laden bioink, resulting in microbubbles that eject a microjet of the ink onto the substrate below.

Conn Hastings received a PhD from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland for his work in drug delivery, investigating the potential of injectable hydrogels to deliver cells, drugs and nanoparticles in the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. After achieving his PhD and completing a year of postdoctoral research, Conn pursued a career in academic publishing, before becoming a full-time science writer and editor, combining his experience within the biomedical sciences with his passion for written communication.

Pro's the new and expanding field of bioprinting is exciting. The field is in it's infancy and a lot is still to be learned.

Pro's:
Alternative to tissue and organ shortage

Cost effective approach to healthcare treatment

Faster treatment

Con's:
Lack of precision printing

Emissions from the printing process

Processing errors
