Introduction to 3D Bioprinting 3D bioprinting is a revolutionary technology that enables the fabrication of functional, biological replicas of naturally occurring body parts, such as organs. This process involves using cellular bio-inks, which are composed of living cells and biocompatible materials, to artificially grow organs in a lab setting . Sericin and Fibroin are playing…
Understanding Biostimulants Biostimulants are a diverse group of products that, when applied to plants or their surrounding environment, enhance the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients, tolerate stress, and improve overall growth and yield[4][7]. Unlike conventional fertilizers or pesticides, biostimulants work through natural processes to boost plant health and productivity. They include a variety of substances…
Collagen is a crucial protein that provides structural support to the skin, maintaining its firmness, elasticity, and hydration. It forms about 75% of the skin’s dry weight and is essential for keeping the skin smooth and youthful. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity. Let us understand how…
