Additive Biomanufacturing with Collagen Inks

Transformation of Breast Reconstruction via Additive Biomanufacturing

Adipose tissue engineering offers a promising alternative to current breast reconstruction options. However, the conventional approach of using a scaffold in combination with adipose-derived precursor cells poses several problems in terms of scalability and hence clinical feasibility. Following the body-as-a-bioreactor approach, this study proposes a unique concept of delayed fat injection into...

Cork suberin as an additive in offset lithographic printing inks

Suberin oligomers, isolated from cork (Quercus suber L.), were used as additives in ‘Waterless’ and vegetable-oil ink formulations, in the range of 2–10% w/w. The rheological behaviour of the suberin oligomers as well as of the inks, with and without suberin, were investigated as a function of temperature. It was shown that the addition of suberin induces a decrease of viscosity of both inks. T...

Biomanufacturing In Industrial Engineering

Biotechnology has become one of the primary technology development areas of the 21 century. For a medical device or pharmaceutical manufacturer to remain on the competitive edge, not only is it necessary to satisfy the stringent demands of the biotechnology markets, but those companies must also develop processes that can accelerate the time frame from research and development to manufacturing ...
