Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have developed a 3D printed perfusion bioreactor (3D-PBR) created to improve how human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) grow and differentiate.
With contributions from the University of New Mexico (UNM), the device also supports co-culture with vascular cells. Designed to address the limitations of basic cell culture models while capturing the complexities of real tissue environments, this compact device aims to make cellular differentiation studies more practical and precise.
