There is a growing trend of automated biology in recent life science research and development. In this issue of “From Academia”, we share with you two publications focusing on the eventual realization of automated bioprinting. The first article focus on a new 3D printing method that can produce self-supporting elastomeric microfluidics without sacrificial ink, therefore, reduces contamination while maintaining desired mechanical properties. The author suggests this methodology will allow automatable fabrication. The second article reports an automated one-step bioprinting technique for the production of COC-microbeads of reproducible size and shape and demonstrates that this 3D in vitro maturation (IVM) improves oocyte nuclear maturation and cytoplasmic parameters, biomarkers of oocyte bioenergetic and developmental potential.
“From Academia” features recent, relevant, close to commercialization academic publications. Subjects include but not limited to healthcare 3D printing, 3D bioprinting, and related emerging technologies.
