  1. DIY Bioprinter Lets Wannabe Scientists Build Structures From Living Cells

    Wired's coverage of a DIY bioprinter at BioCurious, the Sunnyvale community biology lab — a modified inkjet that deposits living cells to build tissue-like structures. A 2013 glimpse of the Maker movement crossing into synthetic biology.

  2. Printing Evolves: An Inkjet for Living Tissue

    WSJ piece on inkjet-style bioprinters capable of depositing living cells layer by layer to build tissue structures — a 2012 snapshot of bioprinting before it hit mainstream awareness. The long road from printed tissue samples to transplantable organs had just begun.

  3. DIY Bioprinter: CD Drives + Arduino + Inkshield at BioCurious

    A tweet from @PatrikD showing a DIY bioprinter built from two old CD drives, an Arduino, and an Inkshield at BioCurious. A snapshot of the early DIY biology movement using salvaged hardware to replicate lab-grade biotechnology.

  4. Anthony Atala: Printing a Human Kidney

    Anthony Atala's TED talk demonstrating a bioprinted kidney scaffold on stage — a landmark moment for regenerative medicine that showed 3D printing of functional human tissue was no longer speculative. Atala's lab at Wake Forest had already implanted lab-grown bladders in patients.

  5. Bioprinter Project at BioCurious

    Personal photo from BioCurious in Sunnyvale documenting the early stages of the DIY bioprinter project. BioCurious was the community biology lab where members built a functional bioprinter from CD drive parts and an Arduino.
