3D bioprinting creates new ways to model disease
A new way of modelling age-related macular degeneration (AMD) under healthy and diseased conditions has been created with 3D bioprinting.
Researchers from the US National Eye Institute developed a model of the outer blood-retina barrier (oBRB), using patient stem cells to produce eye tissue. They bioprinted the combination of cells forming the oBRB – a technique that theoretically provides an unlimited supply of patient-derived tissue to study degenerative retinal diseases.
