Ingestible bioprinter offers minimally invasive tissue repair
Ana Maria Rus
Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Oct 16 2025 Soft tissue injuries of the gastrointestinal tract, like ulcers or hemorrhages, can currently be treated only with some form of surgery, which is invasive and may not result in permanent repair. Bioprinting is emerging as an effective treatment that deposits biocompatible 'ink' – often made of natural polymers derived from seaweed – directly over the site of tissue damage, creating a scaffold for new cell growth. But like traditional surgical
