How to achieve 3D printing human tissue?

Release date: 2015-08-20

Located in Vancouver, Canada, Aspect Biosystems is an award-winning biotech startup specializing in 3D bioprinting and human tissue engineering. The company produces a 3D printer that can produce fully biofunctional human tissue through 3D printing and can be used in hazardous or experimental drug testing, ultimately creating a portable bioprinter.

Aspect Biosystems was created by a group of researchers at the University of British Columbia in Canada, and the start-up funding is the school's mentoring organization entrepreneurship@UBC. Its unique bio-printing technology is to put living cell material into a liquefied hydrogel, then inject it into a 3D printer and squeeze it into a specific shape layer by layer. The living organism structure produced will be placed for incubation and cultivation so that it can begin to function and create a living tissue with biological functions.

In recent years, the need for alternative methods of drug testing has become increasingly urgent in order to protect animals from further harm. Moreover, animal testing can produce inconsistent or false positive responses to many diseases and conditions, making it impossible to simulate in human trials. Drug testing using bioprinted human tissue can eliminate the inherent unreliability of animal testing and save on drug development costs.

The use of bioprinted human tissue to test drugs will greatly reduce or even eliminate the need for animal testing. Animal models that may be effective in animal testing often fail to work properly in human models, wasting valuable research time and money; and with biologically printed human tissue, people will no longer have to spend time and money on extended trials. In addition, it can find treatments that work well for human physiology; in the past, these methods were likely to be eliminated at the initial stage because of poor performance in animal testing. But Aspect Biosystems' ambitions are far more than just drug testing; they have more ambitious plans for their technology.
