Researchers Develop Digital Biological Converter
Researchers at Fraunhofer have successfully developed a 3D-printed biomimetic tissue substitute designed to mimic natural tissue mechanics. The technology utilizes a combination of polyurethane acrylate, a wavy metastructure, and electrospun collagen to achieve these properties. This advancement could significantly impact regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications. This technology can currently produce proteins, viruses, and bacterial cells. The next stage of development aims to allow internet-connected devices to manufacture personalized vaccine doses. The process involves converting digital code into biological matter via a specialized circuitry system.
