Researchers at the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology have developed an innovative technology for growing tissue for transplantation by printing it into a microgel bath as support material.
About a year ago, Prof. Levenberg published another breakthrough in the field of bio-printing in Advanced Materials.

In that study, she was able to create a printed tissue flap based on collagen and living cells containing major blood vessels and small blood vessels that feed the tissue and make possible a connection to the artery after the transplant. This allowed immediate blood flow into the engineered tissue right after the transplant, which accelerates and improves the integration of the tissue in the body.
