Resources – three dimensional digital design

Below are the resources that I am beginning my research with:

1. http://techcrunch.com/2015/05/04/biobots-is-a-3d-printer-for-living-cells/
In the article, biobots are described, which are the special 3D printers that make living cells.

2. http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v32/n8/full/nbt.2958.html
The research review discusses the general process in which 3D printers create tissues and organs.

4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_printing
Wikipedia describes the various processes of organ printing, which may be helpful to printing the basic units of life – cells.

5. http://3dprint.com/50379/3d-print-algae-human-cells/
Because research on 3D printing human cells has not fully matured, researchers found that 3D printing algae could help in the process.

6. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.201305506/full
The article addresses the lack of vascularity in 3D printed human cells which is a problem. It also proposes solutions to increasing vascularity.

7. http://3dprint.com/7729/3d-print-organs-vascular/
The article describes the complexity of vasculature in living organs and cells.

8. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0142961214006401
The report explains how a group of scientists bioprinted vascularity with a method they created.

9. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0142961209006401
This report describes a method of bioprinting vascular tissue without establishing a platform or scaffold.

10. http://www.ascb.org/3d-printing-cell-biology-and-beyond/
This article proposes the challenge or printing vascularity.

11. http://ir.uiowa.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5317&context=etd.
This report describes a vascular fabrication process in detail.
