New bioprinted brain vessel model replicates atherosclerotic flow for drug testing 

Pusan National University (PNU) has unveiled a 3D bioprinted brain vessel model that replicates stenosis and pathological flow, enabling lab studies of atherosclerosis-linked inflammation. The work, led by Prof. Byoung Soo Kim with collaborators at POSTECH, uses an embedded coaxial bioprinting method and a reinforced ECM-based bioink to create perfusable conduits with controlled narrowing. The […]
