At the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, researchers are developing tiny artificial heart valves with 3D printing, using collagen from bacteria as the base material. This collagen, once intended for cosmetic fillers, can be combined with a patient’s own cells to create personalized implants. The team is also working on bioprinted corneas, where stem cells derived from a patient’s skin are grown into functional tissue designed to minimize the risk of rejection.
