👁️ Scientists 3D-printed the first human corneas using a bio-ink made from stem cells!

The process takes just 10 minutes and can be customized for each patient, providing a way to restore sight to millions worldwide.

Researchers at Newcastle University have successfully 3D-printed the first human corneas using stem cells and a specially developed bio-ink.

This innovation offers a promising solution to the global shortage of donor corneas, with over 10 million people worldwide requiring surgery to prevent blindness caused by diseases like trachoma, and nearly 5 million already blind due to corneal scarring.

Using a low-cost 3D printer, the team extruded a stem cell-infused gel made from alginate and collagen to form a cornea in under 10 minutes — a process that maintained cell viability and shape fidelity.

The study, published in Experimental Eye Research, showed that corneas can be custom-printed to fit individual patients by scanning their eyes and using the data to shape the tissue. While the technology still requires years of testing before it can be used in transplants, experts say it holds enormous potential.

“This approach has the potential to combat the worldwide shortage,” said Professor Che Connon, who led the study. Until then, researchers stress that organ donation remains essential for those suffering from corneal blindness today.
