Pollutants could be cleaned from water with a sustainable and eco-friendly 3D printed living material developed at the University of California San Diego.

A "living material," made of a natural polymer combined with genetically engineered bacteria, could offer a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to clean pollutants from water. UC San Diego researchers developed their living material using a seaweed-based polymer and bacteria that have been programmed to produce an enzyme that transforms various organic pollutants into harmless compounds. In tests, heir material decontaminated water solutions tainted with a pollutant from textile manu...

Researchers have made significant advances in solving some of the most vexing challenges in bioprinting 3D-engineered tissues while meeting the key requirements of high cell density, high cell viability and fine fabrication resolution.

Adapted from Biofabrication The high-throughput 3D bioprinting setup developed by researchers at UC San Diego shown performing prints on a standard 96-well plate. The platform can be used to speed up the process of testing and approving new medications for clinical and commercial use. Researchers have developed a rapid-production 3D bioprinter that could also speed up the development of new medications by providing living human tissue samples in record time, they said...
