NUS researchers combine 3D bioprinting with AI to personalise oral soft tissue grafts
National University of Singapore (NUS)A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has developed a method to fabricate personalised gingival (gum) tissue grafts using an innovative combination of 3D bioprinting and artificial intelligence (AI). Led by Assistant Professor Gopu Sriram from NUS Faculty of Dentistry, the team鈥檚 approach presents a more customisable and less invasive alternative to traditional grafting methods, which often involve harvesting tissue from the patient鈥檚 mouth 鈥 a process that can be both uncomfortable and constrained by the availability of suitable tissue.
