Loveland raws 3D tshuab luam ntawv chaw muag khoom Aleph khoom tshaj tawm hnub Wednesday tias nws tau koom nrog ib lub tuam txhab hauv kev sib koom tes uas nws thiaj li yuav ua rau 3D luam tawm ntawm tib neeg lub cev.
Aleph teamed nrog FluidForm hauv Massachusetts hloov cov LulzBot Mini 2 desktop luam ntawv los pab kom 3D luam tawm ntawm cov kua nrog rau cov neeg siv cov ntaub so ntswg hauv tsev thaum lub sij hawm bioprinting.
FluidForm CEO Mike Grafi hais tias "Peb yuav tsis pom neeg lub siab nyob rau hauv peb lub plaub xyoos; Tab sis nws hais tias qhov no yuav tsim yav tom ntej.
Lub tshuab 3D printing yuav siv lub tshuab luam tawm yooj yim tom qab txheej txheej, feem ntau yog cov yas, los tsim ib yam dab tsi. Hauv bioprinting, lub taub hau ntawv yog hloov los ntawm ib tug koob txhaj tshuaj nrog ib rab koob uas tso cov khaubncaws sab nraud povtseg ntawm qhov "bioink".
Ib hom kab mob "scaffold"
Graffeo piav qhia hais tias tib neeg lub cev yog los ntawm ob yam tseem ceeb dua li dej: "hlwb thiab cov khoom uas ua rau lub hlwb nyob hauv qhov chaw - daim duab loj" extracellular matrix. "
Qhov paj no yog "lub scaffold nyob ib ncig ntawm lub hlwb uas tuas lawv nyob qhov twg," nws hais.
Nrog cov khoom xws li collagen, FluidForm 3D-prints biological scaffolds siv nws txoj kev FRESH, uas stands rau Freeform Reversible Embedding ntawm Suspended Hydrogels.
Ntawm cov scaffolds no, cov qia hlwb yuav raug tso npe thov tias yuav rov ua rau hauv cov ntaub so ntswg kom pab kho qhov txhab thiab rov tsim cov pob qij, thiab ntau ntxiv.
"Qhov no nyuaj ua vim tias collagen yog ua kua hauv ib lub raj tshuaj," Graffeo hais tias, yog tias nws ua ntawv thov rau ib qho chaw, "nws yuav yog lub pas dej."
Qhov ntawd yog qhov khoom siv ntawm FluidForm los ntawm hu ua LifeSupport, cov khoom zoo li gel zoo li hauv ib lub petri dish, thiab lub tshuab luam ntawv rab koob ua ib qho qauv hauv qhov gel. Qhov nruab nrab tuas cov bioink raws li nws tau tso rau hauv qhov tsim nyog zoo.
Thaum LifeSupport gel sov so, nws yaj tas lawm, tawm hauv cov qauv bioprinted hauv 3D.
Hloov 3D printers
"Thaum ntawd lub sijhawm ntev, lawv tau hloov cov qauv, cov ntawv luam tawm ntawm cov ntawv luam tawm 3D luam tawm rau cov khoom siv bioprinters," Graffeo said. Ib qho ntawm cov npe yog Loveland-tsim LulzBot.
"Lub LulzBot system yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm kev ntseeg, lawv ua hauj lwm zoo tiag tiag, thiab lawv yog qhov muaj tseeb rau yam peb xav ua," nws hais.
Yog li xyoo tas los no, FluidForm pib tham nrog Aleph Yam khoom, thiab qhov tshwm sim yog LulzBot Bio, uas yuav muaj muag rau lub caij ntuj sov no, raws li xovxwm tso tawm ntawm Aleph.
Engineers nyob rau hauv Loveland tsim ib koob koob txhaj rau lawv Mini 2 luam ntawv thiab ua zoo dua qhov tshuab hauv lwm txoj kev, Moe tau hais.
