The aim of this project is to utilize 3D printing and bioprinting techniques to reconstruct bone defects by combining stem cells from adipose tissue and bone marrow, and biocompatible biomaterials to support personalized bone regeneration.
A library of bioinks (hydrogels and stem cells) will be prepared, printed, and tested in different animal models. The overreaching goal is to facilitate clinical translation on 3D printing techniques for bone regeneration.
The project is a partnership between three institutions in two Nordic countries – University of Bergen (UiB) and Haukeland University Hospital (HUH), Norway and Tampere University (TUNI), Finland.
