Forskare vid Lunds universitet har utformat ett nytt biobläck som gör det möjligt att använda 3D-bioskrivning för att skapa luftvägar i naturlig storlek och med hjälp av mänsklig vävnad. De utskrivna luftvägarna är biokompatibla och forskarna har i djurmodeller sett att materialet stöder tillväxt av blodkärl inne i luftvägens vägg. Detta är ett viktigt första steg på vägen mot att skriva ut biokom
