To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; however, animal models do not always mimic human diseases well, and cultures are far removed from tissue complexity. Advances in 3D printing, together with knowledge of biomaterials, are making it possible to recreate complex 3D tissue models in the laboratory.
The number of doctors and experts that bridge the gap between university research and the NHS – translating discoveries into patient care – is "ageing and shrinking", the Academy of Medical Sciences has warned.
