Several NMI researchers were at the MPS World Summit this week, one of the most important conferences in the field of microphysiological systems (MPS). They presented their work and brought back many
The thymus is a small but vital organ in the human body that "trains" immune cells to recognize and fight off disease. Together with its partners from Genewity B.V. and Pyroscience GmbH, the NMI's Org
In the Neptun project, microimplants are being developed at the NMI for contacting nerve tissue in the abdominal cavity in order to realize controlled neurostimulation of the gastrointestinal tract. T
More than 10,000 patients were waiting for a donor organ at the beginning of 2018, around three quarters of them for a kidney. That is around three times as many people as transplants can be provided.
The goal of this collaborative project is to develop a novel, organ-like, 3D printed in vitro model of the proximal tubule in a microfluidic perfusable chip in a multi-well plate format for use in dru
The goal of the SEALANT project is to develop a new generation of thin-film-based hermetic encapsulation technology for miniaturized medical implants instead of the conventional bulky metal or glass h
The aim of the project is to develop a process and equipment technology for the customized molecular surface structuring of catheters that produces a superhydrophilic (water-loving) surface that preve
The overall goal of this project is to develop a self-healing, bio-inspired and functional hydrogel platform for next-generation 3D bioprinting. The project is inspired by supramolecular, biochemical
The aim of the Fiber4Ink project is to research a novel material platform for 3D bioprinting (a so-called bio-ink), which can be used to enable breakthrough innovations in the field of tissue engineer
