Scientists from the University of Wollongong created an innovative a device that looks like a fountain pen that is “stuffed” stem cells and growth factors. Contents of a pen falling onto damaged tissue, promotes its rapid healing. By According to scientists, a device called BioPen can quickly restore skin, cartilage and bones. It will reduce time growing new tissue, as well as avoiding tissue collection. Previously, the cultivation of cartilage in a special laboratory took weeks. Cell material encased in biopolymer is protected the outer layer of the gel and works on the principle of 3D printer. Device BioPen is equipped with a UV light source, which helps to harden the contents of the handle on the surface after spraying. This protects stem cells when applied to damaged tissue. After that, they quickly begin to multiply, turning into cartilage, muscle, bone and nerve cells. IN as a result, the healing of complex wounds proceeds quickly and without complications. According to experts, the bio-handle can spray any medicines to speed up regeneration. To move to full-scale testing of new technology, scientists optimize growth indicators of cellular material of different tissues and organs.
