Scientists from UNSW Sydney have developed a ceramic-based ink that may allow surgeons in the future to 3-D-print bone parts complete with living cells that could be used to repair damaged bone tissue.
Using a 3-D-printer that deploys a special ink made up of calcium phosphate, the scientists developed a new technique, known as ceramic omnidirectional bioprinting in cell-suspensions (COBICS), enabling them to print bone-like structures that harden in a matter of minutes when placed in water.
