Researchers at Penn State have developed a new bioprinting technique called HITS-Bio that uses spheroids to create complex tissue structures. This technique improves precision and scalability, allowing the rapid bioprinting of tissues 10 times faster than existing methods. The team was able to fabricate cartilage tissue in less than 40 minutes and demonstrated the technique’s potential for on-demand tissue repair. HITS-Bio offers a way to create functional tissues and organs in a scalable manner, with the potential to incorporate blood vessels for producing a variety of tissues for clinical use or transplantation. This study was published in Nature Communications.
