Cells suspended in a water-based gel make up the “ink” in this 3D printer. CREDIT: WAKE FOREST INSTITUTE FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. A hand touches a scalding hot plate, sharp pain erupts and immediately, the body gets to work. Damaged cells send out distress signals; immune cells rush in. As inflammation subsides, a coordinated repair process begins.

Inks created with a patient’s own cells may one day help the body regrow tissues A hand touches a scalding hot plate, sharp pain erupts and, immediately, the body gets to work. Damaged cells send out distress signals; immune cells rush in. As inflammation subsides, a coordinated repair process begins. Eventually, collagen fibers aligned in tight parallel rows will replace much of the damaged tissue. The wound heals, but it does not resemble normal skin.

Scientists are developing 3D bioprinting technology to create personalized skin substitutes that kickstart the regeneration process for severe burn wounds. Traditional methods like split-thickness skin grafts and lab-cultured skin substitutes have limitations in treating extensive burns, leading researchers to explore bioprinting as a promising approach to reduce scarring and promote scarless healing.
