These Biomaterials Could Help to Make Stem Cell Therapies a Reality

British researchers have developed biomaterials that better recreate the conditions required for stem cells to grow into desired cell types. Researchers at Imperial College London have used 3D printing to create biological structures that can support tissue regeneration. The study, published in Scientific Reports, outlines how the group used cryogenics – freezing – to create a biomaterial that mimics the […]
