Unveiling the Impact of Hypodermis on Gene Expression in 3D Bioprinted Skin Models
Introduction: The development of full-thickness human skin models that accurately replicate all three structural layers of human skin—epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis—continue to be pushed forward. Traditionally, 3D skin models used for research and development focused only on the epidermis or epidermis/dermis combinations, often overlooking the hypodermis. Earlier this year though, we covered how WFIRM published…

POSTECH 3D Bioprinting of a Biomimetic Urinary Bladder Model
Bladder dysfunction can cause significant medical issues, including urinary incontinence and renal failure, yet the ability to accurately model and treat such problems has long been limited by the lack of realistic bladder models. Traditional in vitro (lab-based) models often fail to replicate the complex functions and structures of the human bladder. This gap in…
