Scientists have made a 3D print of eye tissue.
In a breakthrough in research, scientists have 3D-printed eye tissue that will help save people from going blind.
The new research used the patient's stem cells and a '3D bioprinting' technique to create a new eye tissue that could be used in research.
In this way, the scientists were able to print a set of cells that together form the blood-retina barrier.
It is the tissue of the eye itself that supports the light perception sensors.
Thanks to this breakthrough in research, scientists will be able to conceptually create a tissue exactly as they want.
In this way they will help in research on diseases.
In this way, scientists can develop new eyes that will help them research eye-damaging diseases that, for example, can make people blind.
Previously, research into diseases such as AMD or age-related muscle weakness was difficult because human material was difficult to obtain.
