An ethical and easy scientific solution for both mother and child
About The Model
This model employs a bioprinter to print JEG3 trophoblasts, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) onto a collagen scaffold.
About The Cells
In our project, all the cells that we used to create our design are already fluorescently tagged as shown here in this image where the trophoblast stem cells are infected with dt-tomato so they fluoresce red when imaged.
