A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is formed by the endothelial cells lining the cerebral microvasculature and tightly regulates passage of molecules from the blood into the brain. While necessary to help ...

MIT engineers have developed a tissue model that mimics beta-amyloid’s effects on the blood-brain barrier. Beta-amyloid plaques—the protein aggregates that form in the brains of Alzheimer’s ...

A review paper by scientists at the Chonnam National University summarized the recent research on bioprinting methods for fabricating bioengineered blood vessel models. The new review paper, published ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University constructed an advanced disease model for blood vessels prompting insights into Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, according to a study published in Stem ...

3D printed blood vessels on glass that mimic blood vessel anatomy and the fluid dynamics of blood flow could be an invaluable tool in studying the causes of stroke, new research from a University of ...

3D-printed organs are a biopunk’s dream and which may soon come true thanks to researchers from the University of California, San Diego. Led by Shaochen Chen, the team of nanoengineers developed a new ...
