“Cryobioprinting” Serves Up Towers of Frozen Cells for Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine, and Drug Discovery
Cryobioprinting examples. Credit: Y. Shrike Zhang Researchers invented a technique that combines bioprinting with cryopreservation to construct frozen, cell-laden structures that can be used in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug discovery. A new technique takes bioprinting — in which an ink of cells is printed, layer by layer, to form a structure — to
U.S. Sanctions Blamed as Venezuela Laments Frozen Order for Medicine
A $12.7 million order of critical medicines and medical supplies, placed by Venezuela’s development bank with the Pan American Health Organization, has been held up for more than two months as an indirect result of U.S. sanctions. The request, frozen by the Portuguese bank Novo Banco, covers more than 30 million syringes; 6 million vaccines
