首席研究员彻-康农在资讯稿中说:“我们独一无二的生物墨水由藻盐酸和胶原蛋白制成,使干细胞保持活力,同时制造出足够坚硬的材料以保持其形状,而且足够柔软以从3D打印机的喷嘴挤出。”
Connon's team also showed it is possible to create a cornea that matches a patient's unique specifications.
康农的团队还向人们展示出,打印出符合患者不同特点的角膜是完全可行的。
By taking the dimensions of the patient's actual cornea with scans, scientists can use the data to print a cornea that matches its size and shape.
科学家通过扫描患者的眼睛来量取其真实角膜的尺寸,之后使用这些数据打印出与其大小和形状相配的眼角膜。
The 3D printed corneas will now have to undergo further testing but it is hoped the technique could be in regular use within five years.
3D打印的人类角膜将需要进行进一步测试,但这一技术有望在5年内投入常规使用。
Professor Connon said the research could help with the worldwide shortage of corneas for transplant.
康农教授说,这项研究有助于缓解全球范围内的眼角膜移植供体短缺问题。
Currently around 10 million people worldwide each year require surgery to prevent corneal blindness, and another five million already suffer total blindness from corneal scarring caused by burns, lacerations, abrasion or disease.
