Researchers take step towards 3D laser printed medical devices www.electronicsonline.net.au March 21, 2023, 5:59 a.m.
A team of scientists, led by researchers at Lancaster University, have developed a method to 3D print flexible electronics using the conducting polymer polypyrrole, and they have shown that it is possible to directly print these electrical structures on or in living organisms (roundworms). Although at a proof-of-concept stage, researchers believe this type of process, when fully developed, has the potential to print patient-specific implants for a variety of applications.

The state of bioprinting www.3dprintingmedia.network March 18, 2023, 3:01 p.m.
The term 3D bioprinting (or simply bioprinting) refers to a family of additive and digital manufacturing methods that produce physical objects layer by layer, using a machine (a 3D bioprinter). Like conventional 3D printing, bioprinting creates objects based on 3D models designed in CAD software. Bioprinted objects (or constructs) are usually replicas of human or animal tissue, created through the combination of cells with other biomaterials and biocompatible materials such as polymers and ceramics.

Going Beyond An MVP: 4 Ways To Prepare Your Product For Future Growth www.forbes.com March 13, 2023, 4:06 a.m.
Building a minimum viable product (MVP) is a low-risk way to see if your business idea has a shot at success. But in the rush to succeed, few leaders think of the risks associated with project growth from the project’s very beginning. I’ve seen many clients come to my company with an MVP that’s not suitable for scaling. In some cases, we’ve even had to rebuild the MVP from scratch to make it capable of growth. In this article, I share insights on how to make sure your MVP allows for future changes to your product.

Emergent collective organization of bone cells in complex curvature fields www.nature.com March 6, 2023, 6:53 a.m.
Individual cells and multicellular systems respond to cell-scale curvatures in their environments, guiding migration, orientation, and tissue formation. However, it remains largely unclear how cells collectively explore and pattern complex landscapes with curvature gradients across the Euclidean and non-Euclidean spectra. Here, we show that mathematically designed substrates with controlled curvature variations induce multicellular spatiotemporal organization of preosteoblasts.
