The Moscow State Medical University (MSMU) announced the joint development with scientists from the Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences – a three-dimensional bioprinting technology for human tissue from living cells.
The material for bioprinting was spheroids (aggregates of cells in the form of balls) created from stem mesenchymal stromal cells (from adipose tissue and the mucous membrane of the gums).
In the course of the work, the researchers obtained an artificial analogue of living human tissue – a skin equivalent. In the future, it can be used to treat diabetic and trophic ulcers, non-healing wounds, burns, etc. In addition, the technology allows printing organs and tissues for a specific person.
