In addition to medicine, 3D bioprinting is essential for the production of cultivated meat tissue.
But the bioinks used have limitations that prevent proper flow of cells and just how structured together they can be printed.
Now, Korean scientists have used algae to make an alginate ink crosslinkable with visible light for higher cell viability.
And still useful for artificial organ production.
