New Technion technology to allow growing printed tissue for transplants

The new concept, print-and-grow, is based on an original concept developed by the researchers – a microgel used as a support material in the process, CarGrow.

 The results of growing the printed tissue in CarGrow (above) and without it. One can see that the innovative process maintains the original size of the tissue and prevents its drastic shrinking.
