Researchers from Nagasaki University and Saga University have collaborated to create scaffold-free esophageal structures with 3D bioprinting.
The findings of the research were published in the paper titled, Regeneration of esophagus using a scaffold-free biomimetic structure created with biothree-dimensional printing.
According to the paper, the results show that “the esophagus-like scaffold-free tubular structures created using bio-3D printing could hold promise as a substitute for the repair of esophageal defects.”
It was published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE.
