#Upgraded circuits built to run biocomputers ETH Zurich right Original Studyposted by Fabio Bergamin-ETH Zurich on October 27 2014.
Scientists have taken a key step toward realizing the goal of building programmable biocomputers that could detect
Biocomputers differ significantly from their counterparts made of silicon and bioengineers still face several major obstacles.
"This is a particular disadvantage for biocomputer components that serve as sensors for specific biomolecules and transmit the relevant signal.
These components are key building blocks for constructing precisely functioning and programmable biocomputers. The circuit controls the activity of individual sensor components using an internal timer.
Professor Benoit Ladoux co-principal investigator at the Mechanobiology Institute at the National University of Singapore and colleagues created a technique to measure the cell-generated nanoscale forces behind wound healing.

It would enable us to assemble new complex substances or materials for specific applicationssays Professor Viola Vogel head of the Laboratory of Applied Mechanobiology at ETH Zurich Switzerland.
So two years ago, Sanaria began working with theharvard Biorobotics Lab#to develop a robot that could do the work faster.
The researchers on the July expedition will study bioluminescence and biofluorescence in the mesopelagic zone found at 656 to 3281 feet (200 to 1000 m) below the ocean's surface where light is dim
Bioluminescence is created the light by living organisms through a chemical reaction in the creatures'bodies. Biofluorescence on the other hand occurs
So-called"bioprinters naturally use cells rather than plastics to create organic structures. However this technique can damage the printed cells,

or plastic replicas of organs most 3d bioprinted innovations will easily take years before reaching patients.
But despite all the 3d printed organ replicas, bioprinted innovations and even plastic hand prosthetics out there, the reality is that very few are available to a broad public.
This means that the patient own bone could grow within and throughout the bioprinted implant.
3d Bioprinted Carbon nanotubes Used to Stimulate Bone Regrowth How do you 3d print bone? A couple of years ago,
by adding conducting CNTS into the bioprinted polymer and mineral prosthetic bone implant, you can stimulate the regrowth of the actual bone cells.
Perhaps one of the most curious aspects is that bioprinting CNTS created no additional difficulties,
and the team are enthusiastic about the possibilities offered by bioprinting. They have been working on the design of bioceramic-based bone grafting materials

#Chinese claim world's first 3d blood vessel bioprinter One step further towards organ regeneration. A Chinese biotechnological company claims to be have created the world first 3d blood vessel bioprinter,
which could pave the way, in theory, to producing personalised, functional organs. One of the major stumbling blocks in tissue engineering is supplying artificial tissue with nutrients,
this bioprinter can finish a 10-centimeter blood vessel within two minutes. he core of the printer is the Biobrick,
the 3d bioprinter creates layered cell structures that can be cultivated to form tissues with physiological functions. he achievement here in producing a 3d blood vessel bioprinter is not just that we can print a blood vessel,

#Swedish start-up CELLINK develops the first universal 3d printable bioink for 3d bioprinters While lives are already being saved by high-level 3d printing in academic hospitals all over the world,
scientific progress with these bioprinted materials is agonizingly slow. Various institutes and hospitals all over the world are experimenting with new materials and applications,
Suitable for a large variety of bioprinting applications, this innovation could vastly reduce the time companies
it brought the bioprinting revolution so much closer. As the two entrepreneurs explain to us, both have an extensive background in biotechnology.
And with their bioprinting goals in mind CELLINK is releasing the world's first 3d bioprinting'Start-inkkit,

Previously, wee seen how medical researchers have been experimenting with something similar to create 3d bioprinted scaffolding for slowly introducing cells for a diabetic treatment process.
it is hardly surprising that we hear about exciting new (bioprinted) medical innovations almost every week.
Entitled Cell and protein compatible 3d bioprinting of mechanically strong constructs for bone repair, it hands bioprinting scientists a whole new avenue to explore:
bioprinting at ambient temperatures as a viable option for the manufacturing of materials that can repair bone structures.
which could help with more complicated reconstructions-such as nasal reconstruction. nd that temperature change is key to their success. Bioprinting technology typically relies on high temperatures (possibly through UV LIGHT or solvents).
they write in their paper. ere we developed a method for using bioprinting to produce constructs from a thermoresponsive microparticulate material based on poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) at ambient conditions.
these materials formed porous constructs. urther study showed that protein-releasing microspheres could be incorporated into the bioprinted constructs.
The release of the model protein lysozyme from bioprinted constructs was sustained for a period of 15 days
and a high degree of protein activity could be measured up to day 9. This suggests that bioprinting is a viable route to the production of mechanically strong constructs for bone repair under mild conditions
However, one Chinese company is already implementing a bioprinted product on a large scale across the world.
and it is believed also to be applied the first bioprinted product to come out of China. So what exactly is the Redura?
