When pilots take to the skies or astronauts venture into low orbit, their bodies face extreme conditions that traditional cell cultures can’t fully mimic.
When pilots take to the skies or astronauts venture into low orbit, their bodies face extreme conditions that traditional cell cultures can’t fully mimic.
Now, researchers at Texas A&M University have found a way to model these extreme conditions: using 3D bioprinting.
Led by College of Engineering professor Dr. Zhijian “ZJ” Pei in collaboration with College of Arts and Sciences professor Dr. Hongmin Qin — and supported by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research— the project could help improve safety in aviation and spaceflight, while accelerating how scientists study and treat respiratory diseases.
