Development of the Technion will allow the creation of cells and tissues deep in the body in a non-invasive way with the help of ultrasound

The applicability of the new technology is demonstrated in the contexts of local cell transplantation, drug transport for controlled local release over time and 3D bioprinting. The mechanical properties of the scaffolds can be adjusted according to the target tissue and the desired drug release rate

Going deeper into the roots of the diseases

Researchers have built cellular models of genetic diseases such as fragile X syndrome and found the mechanism that causes them

The images show the ability of the satellite cells to adhere and spread (in red) on scaffolds printed in 5D according to a predefined geometry, and were taken a week after they were seeded on the scaffolds. This process was observed both in scaffolds consisting of a combination of alginate with soy protein (top row) and in those consisting of a combination of alginate with pea protein (bottom row). In both cases, pictures were taken at different magnifications (10x - left and middle column; XNUMXx - right column). Prof. Shulamit Levenberg's lab, Technion

It is a biological ink consisting of a combination of alginate from algae and proteins isolated from the plant - soy or pea. It is injected in the printing process to create protein-enriched scaffolds in different geometries

A technology developed at the Technion improved glucose uptake in diabetic mice

The conventional treatments for diabetes and insulin resistance are based on the consumption of drugs by injection and ingestion and provide a partial and short-term solution. This is the background for trying to develop long-term systemic solutions, and this is where the new development comes in

Researchers at the Technion demonstrated the advantage of tissues grown in the laboratory for a longer period of time before being transplanted

The blood vessels in the abdominal muscle of the mouse (red) and the blood vessels of the engineered tissue implanted in this muscle (green). Before implantation, the engineered blood vessels underwent static stretching, which caused them to organize in a direction parallel to the stretching direction. After the transplant, as you can see, a very good connection was achieved between the transplanted blood vessels and the original blood vessels, thanks to the similar directionality.
