The KeratOPrinter project aims to develop a 4D bioprinting technology to create fully functional human corneas. By combining innovative cell sources and bioink formulations, the project seeks to address the shortage of donor corneas, ultimately enabling millions to receive vision-saving treatments by 2035.
Corneal blindness is the 3rd leading cause of blindness globally, affecting >11.7mi people.
Although the cornea is the most transplanted tissue, only 1-in-70 patients in need receive a cornea due to a severe shortage of donor tissue.3D bioprinting offers an attractive solution.
However, existing technology cannot mimic the complexity of cornea tissue, which is necessary to reproduce its optomechanical & biological functionality.The KeratOPrinter project thus, proposes a highly ambitious approach…
