Alexander Levin, an engineer of the Scientific and Educational Center of Biomedical Engineering of NITU MISIS Alexander Levin informed about the development by Russian scientists of a technology for skin restoration using additive technologies.
According to Izvestia, specialists from NITU MISIS have developed a project to 3D print new skin immediately on the human body. The consumable material is a hydrogel based on the patient's own cells. The gel is applied to damaged areas of the body by a robotic articulated arm with six degrees of freedom.
The robot injects the hydrogel into the wound in equal portions and even layers. For this purpose, the machine is assisted by a scanner for creating a three-dimensional model of the damage, software for building an optimal automatic trajectory of the arm.
Alexander Levin noted that the innovation was the printing of new tissues directly on the human body. The novelty will be useful in the treatment of burns, skin ulcers and eczema.
Earlier, scientists from the University of Tokyo developed an interpreter that uses artificial intelligence to translate the rooster language.
