The Next Byte Podcast · 7 Sept 2021 · 20m

What this episode covers

Daniel Scott Mitchell and Farbod Moghaddam discuss two biomedical engineering breakthroughs: Texas A&M researchers' 3D bioprinted blood vessels for drug testing, and Harvard University's 3D printed eardrum grafts developed with Massachusetts Eye and Ear Hospital. They detail how Texas A&M's team overcame bioink limitations to create stable vascular tissue, and how Harvard's synthetic bioink scaffold promotes natural healing in chinchilla models, restoring full hearing function without invasive surgery.
