Bioprinting Neurons by Linda Rowan https://padlet.com/lrowan21/gos786h1z69owkbo A technique called Laser-Induced Side Transfer (LIST) that allows for bioprinting of neurons has been developed by a team at Concordia University in Montreal. LIST uses low energy laser pulses which are directed at a capillary holding cell-laden bioink, resulting in microbubbles that eject a microjet of the ink onto the substrate. Remarkably, most neurons, were fully viable when assessed two days later. This research could pave the way for neuron-based printed constructs to assist in drug discovery, and disease modeling (Hastings 2021). en-us 2022-09-19 18:43:27 UTC 2022-09-21 13:06:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/1187732391/81b9a1eecfbeee8d884da5b3da0a8a26/neuron.png Bioprinting Neurons!

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.]]> 2022-09-19 20:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lrowan21/gos786h1z69owkbo/wish/2303684596 Bioprinting in review Pro's & Con's lrowan21 https://padlet.com/lrowan21/gos786h1z69owkbo/wish/2303693431 Pro's the new and expanding field of bioprinting is exciting.
