“There is a huge difference in causes of diseases and their underlying mechanisms between animal models and humans. This is why we believe it is important to have human organ models and bioprinting enables us to produce these models with high accuracy.”
“Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that perfusion has the most straightforward impact on cell models by significantly enhancing the model’s cell viability. After all, perfusion provides a continuous supply of nutrients and oxygen. Additionally, compared to extrusion-based printing, DLP printing has simplified 3D printing considerably. You don’t need to fine-tune various printing parameters, repeatedly test and adjust your printing inks, or maintain calcium ion concentrations in the culture medium to sustain the model’s condition after printing.”
