Professor Shulamit Levenberg uses 3D bioprinting to create living tissues from patient cells, potentially transforming how doctors rebuild damaged body parts without rejection or additional injury.
Professor Shulamit Levenberg at Israel's Technion Institute is pioneering 3D bioprinting of living human tissues, from ears to blood vessels to spinal cords. Her lab's breakthrough shows how printed scaffolds seeded with patient cells could revolutionize regenerative medicine.
Professor Shulamit Levenberg, a biomedical engineer at the Technion Institute in Israel, is working on 3D bioprinting living human tissue such as ears, blood vessels, and spinal cords. Her lab uses 3D bioprinting to create scaffolds made of collagen where patients' own cells can grow and organize into functional tissue.
This video was filmed in Professor Shulamit Levenberg's laboratory at the Technion Institute in Israel.
When researchers tested the 3D-printed tissue and blood vessels on paralyzed rats, the rats were able to start walking again, demonstrating the potential of this bioprinting approach.
