Russia published important research projects in space using 3D bio printer

Recently, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) 's joint rocket Space Corporation (URSC) stated that the company signed an agreement with 3D Bioprinting Solutions company, the two sides will work together to develop a zero-gravity environment of magnetic 3D bio-printer.

URSC companies mentioned: this 3D bio-printer is used to print highly sensitive to space radiation tissue and organs in order to detect long-term stays in space, organisms in the environment, what are the negative effects of cosmic radiation.

3D Bioprinting Solutions company of the project's Scientific Director Vladimir Mironov leadership. Last year, 3D Bioprinting Solutions have been printed for the first time a thyroid, and transplanted them into mice. Through standardized laboratory procedures they have been able to produce bio-ink. This 3D bio-printer using stem cells as material, extracted stem cells from mouse adipose tissue, transplant rejection does not occur, and that these stem cells can be used as any physical body in "raw materials". In order to enable them to print correctly, stem cells are transformed into globose or layered into hydrogels and in aggregates. Zhihou, organs will be printed in a special bioreactor, in the bioreactor, the gel dissolves, organs are slowly growing mature.

However, bio-printing in space and on the Earth is different. On Earth, 3D bio-print need to use sticky bio inks to provide structural support, the ink contains chemicals and other materials, they need to rely on gravity to form continuous between the layer and the layer structure.

But if the printed body tissue in space to meet two essential conditions: first on the establishment of a special magnetic field overcomes the zero gravity. Meanwhile, also uses finer print head and low viscosity of bio ink, the ink contains biological material required to create healthy organs. Victorias Secret case for iPad Mini

URSC General Manager Yuri Vlasov and 3D Bioprinting Solutions Youssef Hesuani believes that this project will affect the medical technology on the Earth, as a field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine technology, it can accelerate the development of artificial human tissues and organs. It is reported that this 3D bio-printer will use in 2018 was sent to the international space station.
