Diabetes breakthrough: 3D-printed pancreatic islets may replace insulin shots
SMRTR summary
Scientists have successfully 3D printed functional human pancreatic islets, potentially eliminating the need for insulin injections in Type 1 diabetes patients. The breakthrough involves a special bioink and precise printing techniques, resulting in islets that remain alive and functional for up to three weeks. This development could lead to less invasive treatments and improve quality of life for millions worldwide with diabetes.
