Bioprinting breakthrough uses acoustic waves to create lab-grown human tissue

Researchers often test experimental pharmaceutical therapies using lab-grown human tissues. Unfortunately, creating these materials can be complex and costly, leading many researchers to turn to alternative approaches such as 3D bioprinting—itself a slow, painstaking process. Now, however, a new printing system is showing promise for dramatically shortening the time needed to create lab-grade tissue samples. […]
