3D printed vascularized tissue scaffold with extracellular matrix triggered growth factor release
­Vas-Scaf” is a 3D bio-printed vascularized bone scaffold perfused with osteogenic and angiogenic growth factors. Artificial bone grafts lacking vascularization fail due to poor integration of new tissues with the host and death of interior bone tissues. Bone and blood vessel tissues require different support structures and different biochemical...

Direct Injection Of Plasma Activated Species (Pas) Into Liquid Solutions Assisted With Gas Buffering Housing
A method of stimulating chemical reactions within a liquid uses a gas plasma ejected from a gas-buffered plasma injection device to create a plasma-liquid interface. The injection device has an electrically-conductive housing with an inlet, an outlet and an electrode embedded in the housing interior so as to create flow paths through the electrode and...
