Time Code: Improved Printing Code for 3D Bioprinting
Introduction The field of bioprinting has made strides in recent years. However, despite advances in multifunctional 3D printheads, the standard G-Code used for print path execution presents a significant limitation: it forces interruptions in the print process whenever auxiliary controls, such as material switching or UV curing, are required. This leads to defects, reduced precision,…

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…
