Perfusable Living Adipose Tissue Model for study and treatment of obesity

Obesity is an emerging, global, huge health problem that affects roughly a third of the population and costs an estimated $209.7 billion dollars per year in the United States alone. Obesity is characterized by excess accumulation of adipose tissue (fat) and is a major risk factor for various dise...

3D Bioprinting of biomimetic pancreas with tunicate nanocellulose and human pancreatic islets

Diabetes er en sykdom som globalt rammer mange millioner mennesker. Vi vet fra tall presentert av WHO at det er forventet at over 400 millioner vil utvikle diabetes innen 2030. Pasienter med insulinavhengig diabetes (type 1) har redusert glukoseregulering fordi de mangler insulin som normalt blir...

NANO2021-Nanoteknologi og nye materiale

Evaluation of nanocellulose from tunicates as bioink for 3D Bioprinting of biomimetic pancreas to treat diabetes

The project idea is to develop novel bioink to 3D Bioprint biomimetic pancreas to deliver beta islets to treat patients with diabetes type 1. The bioink will be based on nanocellulose fibrils isolated from tunicates and mixed with alginates. This project consists of several subprojects and this a...
