A new book deals with the learning process and imitation of nature's solutions, also known as the field of biomimicry, (bio = life, mimicry = imitation), a field of knowledge in global growth identified as an engine of innovation
The images show the ability of the satellite cells to adhere and spread (in red) on scaffolds printed in 5D according to a predefined geometry, and were taken a week after they were seeded on the scaffolds. This process was observed both in scaffolds consisting of a combination of alginate with soy protein (top row) and in those consisting of a combination of alginate with pea protein (bottom row). In both cases, pictures were taken at different magnifications (10x - left and middle column; XNUMXx - right column). Prof. Shulamit Levenberg's lab, Technion

These tiny polymer scaffolds include channels 100 micrometers wide, about the width of a human hair. When live cells are added to the content, the channels serve as artificial blood vessels. By mimicking human tissues of organs such as liver and heart, these scaffolds provide an innovative method for testing new drugs with the aim of reducing their dangerous side effects.
