Magnetic mixer improves 3D bioprinting A new approach developed at MIT aims to solve a core limitation in 3D bioprinting, by actively preventing cell sedimentation within bioinks, allowing for more reliable and biologically consistent 3D p...

Great MIT News feature on how our lab is tackling one of the most significant challenges in 3D #bioprinting: gravity-driven cell sedimentation! Our modular platform prevents clogged nozzles + uneven cell distribution, enabling fabrication of large-scale viable tissues:

Engineering and biofabrication of early cancer models Nature Reviews Bioengineering, Published online: 03 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s44222-025-00371-wEarly cancer biology and detection research is limited owing to a lack of clinical samples from pre-malignant and early-stage tumours. This Review discusses engineered in vitro systems that mimic early disease stages to investigate tumour progression and identify biomarkers for early cancer detection.
