There are companies going after 3D bioprinting, like Organovo and Rainbow Biosciences. And there are large research bodies and graduate universities making big breakthroughs with the technology, like North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Scotland’s Heriot-Watt University and Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology. But, when a college sophomore like Tanner Carden at the University of Alabama starts bioprinting, you begin to feel that the bioprinting revolution isn’t as far away as previously thought. Carden, with his collaborator Devon Bane, have developed a specialized extruder to 3D print lattices made of sugar that may be able to mimic blood vessels.…
