The Top Bioprinting Companies

In the next 5-7 years, the bioprinting market is estimated to expand by 15.7 percent, and it is anticipated to grow over $4.70 billion by 2025, according to the latest study of BIS Research. While the growth statistics indicate a turbulent landscape, it is worth familiarizing with the main players. Here, we collected the best bioprinting companies currently on the market. The future of bioprinting: tissues not organs The idea of lab-grown organs might mean the end of testing drugs on animals or humans, the solution for organ shortages and an ending of the desperate state of organ donations worldwide. If the creators of the movie The Island had known about bioprinting, they would have rethought the entire plot. In the future, you would most definitely not need fully cloned humans as holders of backup organs or surrogate mothers – bioprinting specific tissues or organ parts might be enough. 3D bioprinting is a mind-boggling technology that emerged in the last couple of years. It means the creation of living tissues, such as blood vessels, bones, heart or skin via additive manufacturing a.k.a 3D printing. Unlike in the case of printing out objects, bioprinting not only needs living cells, but they also need a nurturing environment to stay alive: food, water, and oxygen. Nowadays, these conditions are provided by a microgel – think of gelatin enriched with vitamins, proteins, and other life-sustaining compounds. Moreover, to create conditions fostering the fastest and most ef...
