Can 3D printing help repair the brain? Oxford Martin programme reports key advances

Oxford researchers develop 3D printing method that shows promise for repairing brain injuries

A breakthrough technique developed by University of Oxford researchers could one day provide tailored repairs for those who suffer brain injuries. The researchers demonstrated for the first time that neural cells can be 3D printed to mimic the architecture of the cerebral cortex. These results have been published in the journal Nature Communications.

Five new programmes will explore technological solutions to global challenges
