This is my DIY bioprinter in my kitchen, finishing up my first successful bioprint (with this machine) of a clitoris form in a homemade gelatin alginate bioink. I’m pretty sure it’s a world’s first. Tell me this isn’t the sexiest DIYbio you’ve ever seen! 🧪

Welcome to today's "office." Stopped by the University of Toronto CRAFT labs today to advance some of work we've started on bioink synthetic skin printing in microgravity together with IIAS. Can't wait to share more in the coming months. Still can't believe I get to do this. 👩🏽🚀🚀🏥✨️

First, very rough print test with the bioprinter I built (hacked from a 3D printer) and which lives on my kitchen counter. Dinner, anyone? 🧪 Next up are all the refinements with extrusion rate, nozzle gauge, etc., etc., etc. Just using a simple gelatin-alginate bioink I cooked up on my stove.

"Researchers demonstrated the technology by modifying a hot glue gun to 3-D print the material directly onto bone fractures in rabbits. Instead of using a regular glue stick, they employed a specially made “bioink,” the team reports September 5 in Device."

First post on bsky! We indented and punctured hydrogels to measure how plasticity correlates with cell health and movement. Lower puncture force and yield strength could set a new benchmark for bioink design and promote cell compatibility in 3D culture. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Sorghum Proteins Provide Durable 3D Printable ‘Bioink’ Foundation
In a groundbreaking advance for food technology and pharmaceutical manufacturing, researchers at the University of Arkansas have unveiled a novel 3D-printable bioink derived from sorghum proteins. This innovation leverages the unique hydrophobic properties of sorghum—a drought-resilient grain known for its remarkable adaptability to diverse climatic conditions—to create highly stable and printable gels suitable for producing precise, structured edible and medicinal products.
