Researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China and Drexel University in Philadelphia developed a method to 3D-print the “building blocks” of embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells, which are derived from a human embryo, are particularly of interest to researchers due to their ability to grow into any type of cell or tissue in the body (meaning they’re pluripotent). When embryonic stem cells are specified to transform into any of the 200 different cell types in the human adult body, they can do so — replicating indefinitely. That’s why they’re especially useful to scientists working in regenerative medicine, where they can be applied to rebuild lost tissue after injury or disease. Embryoid bodies are 3-dimensional groups of embryonic stem cells.
The researchers managed to produce a 3D grid of sorts, which was able to grow an embryoid body, complete with self-regeneration and pluripotency. They hope the procedure could be used in the future to efficiently produce uniform “building blocks” of embryonic stem cells used to build larger tissues and micro-organs
These cells are capable of generating all cell types in the body which could be used as the ‘Lego bricks’ to build larger structures of tissues , tissue constructs and even micro-organs.
