Bioprinting technology combined with artificial intelligence allows to obtain high quality in vitro models

In the process of organoid manufacturing, bioprinting technology can not only facilitate the creation and maintenance of complex biological 3D shapes and structures, but also allow for standardization and quality control during production. And the addition of artificial intelligence, which can validate the product potential in the manufacturing process, allows to provide a more standardized source of cells for the organoid in terms of viability, function, etc. In other words, bioprinting combined with artificial intelligence is expected to perform real-time diagnostics of organoids and ultimately obtain high-quality homogenized in vitro models.
Professor Hyungseok Lee, from the Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Kangwon National University, presented his views on the future development of organoid manufacturing on May. 6 in Cyborg and Bionic Systems.
Organoids with the ability to self-organize and assemble have a wide range of research and application prospects. Besides the most basic simulation of human organ development that cannot be studied in animal models, organoids can also replicate human pathology instead of animals to complete the research. In addition, because of the convenient customization of cell sources, organoids could also be used as "stand-ins" for clinical patients to personally predict the best therapeutic agents.
However, such a widely used organoid is facing the difficulty of standardizing its production. Due to differences in experimenter, culture conditions, and cellular conditions, the organoid, while enabling disease modeling, cannot exhibit strictly consistent properties for application in the screening of new drugs, especially in the process of quantification. In addition, keeping all nutrients, growth factors and metabolites in constant equilibrium is a technical challenge during organoid growth, which can also cause discrepancies with the actual target tissue.
Bioprinting, especially extrusion bioprinting, enables standardized manufacturing of organoid components with complex cellular composition and structure, controlling quality and minimizing human intervention. Moreover, bioprinting technology could also facilitate the automation of manufacturing processes. High resolution is the critical for bioprinting organoids, which is expected to realize the fabrication of vascularized organoids with perfusion network and overcome the limitation of passive transport of substances.
Artificial intelligence is currently gaining attention for its ability to monitor and control the quality of the final object being exploited. The bioprinting process it incorporates to create organoids monitors cell status and printed structures in real time, providing feedback for fine printing to ensure resolution. The future direction of this kind of organ manufacturing prospects for the modeling of complex diseases and the combinatorial testing of new drugs.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most diagnosed cancer among males and third among females in Saudi Arabia, with up to two-thirds diagnosed at an advanced stage, according to the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre. This report shows Saudi Arabia has a high percentage of respondents (62.7%) who never took CRC tests, far higher than global average of 54.1%. This shows the Kingdom's Early Cancer Detection Program still needs to build greater awareness among the public.

Excessive alcohol consumption causes short-term and long-term health problems
An enzyme called ADH1B accelerates the breakdown of alcohol in the body
Researchers genetically engineered a probiotic to express ADH1B in mice
Mice treated with the probiotic recovered from alcohol exposure faster than untreated mice, and had fewer resulting health problems
Washington, DC – Excessive alcohol consumption leads to painful hangovers and accompanying headaches, fatigue, and nausea. Drinking alcohol has also been linked to a raft of health problems in the human body, including heart disease, cirrhosis, and immune deficiency. One way to avoid those consequences ...

In the United States, federal laws were created to effectively decriminalize prostitution in minors under the age of 18. However, state and local justice systems continue to arrest and incarcerate minors for prostitution, despite widespread agreement that youth involved in commercial sexual exploitation are victims, not offenders.
Most youth tend to fall victim to child prostitution and sex trafficking between the ages of 12 and 14. Victims of child prostitution have especially high rates of prior physical, sexual and emotional abuse as well as neglect.

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Toronto (U of T) have combined forces to develop a new approach to potentially treat tumour cells, called mechanical nanosurgery, even for aggressive, chemoresistant cancers.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain cancer. Despite various treatment options that exist, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the median survival time for patients is only around 15 months.
The current global standard-of-care treatment for GBM patients includes chemotherapy using a drug called temozolomide (TMZ), which extends a person’s life expectancy by approximately two months compared ...

Ithaca, NY—Deteriorating habitat conditions caused by climate change are wreaking havoc with the timing of bird migration. A new study demonstrates that birds can partially compensate for these changes by delaying the start of spring migration and completing the journey faster. But the strategy comes with a cost—a decline in overall survival. The findings by researchers from Cornell University, the University of Maryland, and Georgetown University are published in the journal Ecology.
"We found that our study species, the American Redstart, can migrate up to 43% faster to reach its ...

Viruses are usually associated with illness. But our bodies are full of both bacteria and viruses that constantly proliferate and interact with each other in our gastrointestinal tract. While we have known for decades that gut bacteria in young children are vital to protect them from chronic diseases later on in life, our knowledge about the many viruses found there is minimal.
A few years back, this gave University of Copenhagen professor Dennis Sandris Nielsen the idea to delve more deeply into this ...

VANCOUVER, Wash. – Gossip influences if people receive advantages whether they work in an office in the U.S. or in India—or even in a remote village in Africa, a Washington State University study found.
In a set of experiments, WSU anthropologists found that positive and negative gossip influenced whether participants were willing to give a person a resource, such as a raise or a family heirloom, especially when the gossip was specific to the circumstance. For instance, positive gossip concerning ...

Research Highlights:
A wireless or leadless (without wires) pacemaker was implanted in a select group of children with irregular heart rhythms during a 5-year period (2016-2021).
Smaller catheters that allow easier placement of the leadless pacemaker in children’s smaller bodies may expand wireless pacemakers as an option to consider for more children with irregular heart rhythms.
