3D bioprinting advances enable creation of artificial blood vessels with layered structures
Posted:
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.
Sonographers conduct ultrasound scans which are essential to pregnancy care and are also used in the diagnosis of cancer.
Pregnant women are offered a scan when their baby is 12 weeks old and again when the baby is 20 weeks.…
