While FDM, SLA, two-photon laser, drop on demand are some of the most popular biofabrication methods, this “From Academia” issue includes three less well know but trending methods that could be complementary or alternative to the typical 3D bioprinting process. The first article introduces a biofabrication method using ultrasound waves, also known as sonolithography. This gentle method can rapidly generate 2D cell patterns for a variety of materials, as well as act as a complementary technique to additive manufacturing where surface patterning combined with layer‐by‐layer fabrication can facilitate the generation of structures with more internal complexity. However, this method does not allow selectively targeting and manipulating individual cells. The second article addresses exactly that problem with a single cell bioprinting method using short laser pulses, which allow for the precise and efficient selection and positioning of individual mammalian cells, as well as transferring of specific cell/cells to a target surface with precision and high cell viability. The third publication was written in 2017, but we are anticipating the author's upcoming paper in a few weeks. This paper reviews the principles behind a fabrication technique called melt eletrowriting (or electrostatic writing) and also compares it to an adjacent technique called eletrospinning. The author also lists potential biomedical applications of this technique.

3D printing for perioperative planning has been around since the birth of STL. However, the medical community has gone through many milestones, and this “From Academia” blog highlights three recent publications demonstrating how the surgical communities are reinventing old surgical techniques using new 3D technologies, racing from 3D printed soft anatomical models, new 3D software tools, finite element analysis, to artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The first one is a review article focusing on different applications of 3D printing in breast cancer management, ranging from visualization help to surgical guides that may be more superior to conventional guidance, to post-surgical radiation treatment guidance. The second article is a research paper focusing on creating streamlined workflow leveraging improved more automated segmentation processes (for soft tissues) and soft material 3D printing technologies to create better neurosurgical planning by creating 3D printed patient-specific brain tumor models. The final paper describes the use of affordable 3D printing technology to produce ready-to-use, sterilizable auricular carving, and framework sizing templates to guide in the perioperative sculpture of the cartilaginous framework during microtia reconstruction, which is considered one of the most challenging procedures in the field of reconstruction surgery.

In this “From Academia” blog, we focus on a key ingredient for successful bioprinting, the bioinks. The first article is a recently published review article that will lay the foundation of various bioprinting methods as well as a special focus on the natural, synthetic, or hybrid materials used as bioinks. This article also addresses the challenges, limitations, and future directions concerning the bioprinting technique. This second article shows how bioprinting and organoid technology can be merged to generate centimeter-scale tissues that have self-organized features including lumens, branched vasculatures, and tubular intestinal epithelia with in vivo-like crypts and villus domains. This method could potentially be used to produce larger functional tissue with more geometry and cellular control. The third article introduced a new hydrogel bioink composed of partially digested, porcine cardiac decellularized extracellular matrix (cdECM), Laponite-XLG nanoclay, and poly(ethylene glycol)-diacrylate (PEG-DA). The researchers show that 3D printed constructs with this new bioink demonstrated shape fidelity, adaptability to different printing conditions, and high cell viability following extrusion and photo-polymerization, highlighting the potential for applications in modeling both healthy and fibrotic cardiac tissue. “From Academia” features recent, relevant, close to commercialization academic publications.

In this issue of “From Academia”, we included four recent research publications related to "seeing", including articles focusing on how to create smart contact lenses, cornea, glass optics, and microscope leveraging 3D printing technologies. In the first article, researchers presented a way to create hydrogel-based contact lenses that can have biosensing capabilities, including sensing eye blinking (peristaltic pressure), PH, and Na+ level, adding another tool to the future wearable market. In the second article, researchers demonstrated how additive manufacturing of gradient index (GRIN) silica-titania glass via direct ink writing method could potentially create a variety of conventional and unconventional optical functions in a flat glass component with no surface curvature. In the third article, the researchers described a way to create a 3D corneal stroma using an orthogonally oriented pure electro-compacted collagen (EC). The researchers believe this technique could potentially be used to create a future full-thickness corneal replacement. In the final article, the authors presented UC2 (You. See. Too.), a low-cost, 3D-printed, open-source, modular microscopy toolbox. The authors demonstrate its versatility by realizing a complete microscope development cycle from concept to experimental phase and aim to develop an open standard in optics to facilitate interfacing with various complementary platforms. “From Academia” features recent, relevant, close to commercialization academic publications.

In this issue of “From Academia”, we included three recent publications introducing innovative ways to deliver drugs. In the first article, the researchers demonstrated 3DMNMEMS, a novel device that combines 3D printing, microneedles (MNs), and Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS). This device allows for versatile and controllable transdermal drug delivery, for example, the delivery of insulin. In the second article, the authors presented a one-step fabrication process of a microfluidic chip for drug dissolution assays based on 3D printing technology. The authors suggest that this method could be a reliable tool for drug release assays during the early research stages. The final publication is a review article focusing on past publications discussing the current applications of 3D-printed porous tantalum (3D-P-p-Ta), a novel drug delivery strategy, in drug delivery systems to repair hard tissue defects, as well as the limitations of existing data and potential future research directions.

n this issue of “From Academia”, we included two publications that connect the world of radiology and medical 3D printing in very creative ways. In the first article, the authors use an ultrasonic elastography technique that
measures the effective density and the dynamic bulk modulus elastography (EBME) of 3D printed anatomical models using voxelated materials and 3D printed by J750 DAP. This could have important implications for future quality control of 3D printed medical devices using the voxel print technique. In the second article, The researchers demonstrated an inexpensive method of reproducing a full spectrum of adult bone-like anthropomorphic femur phantom slab using a new interlace deposition extrusion method of standard PLA and Fe-PLA filaments. This model can achieve the required CT appearance (based on HU) for a range of bony structures and soft tissues while providing patient-specificity. Such phantom has applications in surgical guidance, diagnostic imaging, as well as end-to-end dosimetry in radiotherapy.

There has been an uptick in research activities focusing on 3D bioprinting for bone regeneration. In this issue of “From Academia”, we included four recent publications tackling the issue from different angles. The first article focuses on a new 3D printing composite using silicone resing derived larnite/C scaffold to create new regeneration and treatment strategies for bone tumor patients. The second study focuses on a new bio-ink for 3D bioprinting bone, nanoengineered ionic covalent entanglement (NICE) bioink formulation, which not only showed good printability, mechanical properties, biodegradability, but also the ability to induce endochondral differentiation of encapsulated human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in the absence of an osteoinductive agent on a genetic level. In the third study, researchers developed a new PLA-based composite formulation that could be used to produce bone scaffold and regeneration. In the last article, a new iron-based ink formulation, as well as matching 3D printing, de-binding, and sintering conditions, was developed to create iron scaffolds with a porosity of 67%, pore interconnectivity of 96%, and a strut density of 89% after sintering. The study shows the great potential of extrusion-based 3D printed porous iron to be further developed as a biodegradable bone substituting biomaterial. “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.

“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. In this issue, we will share three recent publications focusing on how to leverage 3D printing to improve drug delivery. The first article described a bilayer FDM 3D printed tablet that can release TB medication at two different PH, thereby potentially optimize drug potency and avoid drug interactions. The second publication describes a dual extrusion 3D printing process that can leverage different material compositions and geometries to create different drug release profiles. In the final article, researchers described a multifunctional bone graft as a drug delivery vehicle by incorporating the three primary soy isoflavones: genistein, daidzein, and glycitein onto a 3D printed (3DP) tricalcium phosphate (TCP) scaffold with designed pores, endowing them with in vitro chemopreventive, bone-cell proliferating, and immune-modulatory potential.

Bioprinting organs cannot succeed without the right biomaterials. In this issue, three articles focus on different ways to optimize bioprinting hydrogel. The first article focuses on using machine learning with various parameters to optimize FRESH technique with alginate. This is one of few articles exploring the future scaling of automated biofabrication and tissue engineering. The second study explores an application using 3D bioprinting optimized methacrylated HA (MeHA), a modified major component of extracellular matrix (ECM) to create in vitro testbeds for studying neural repair. The final article goes a step further by using 3D printed esophageal derived ECM hydrogel-loaded stent to treat radiation esophagitis in the animal models. “From Academia” features recent, relevant, close to commercialization academic publications.
