Bioprinting, or the 3D printing of complex living tissues, is opening up a new frontier in regenerative medicine. With 3D printing already firmly established in the medical world, we take a look at recent breakthroughs and the future potential of the technology.

We also look at two recent studies that indentify the enterovirus types associated with type 1 diabetes, opening new doors for vaccine development, and find out more about Blue Angel, the US military’s project for alternative plant-based vaccine production. Moreover, we IBM about a new open-source modelling application that could help combat global outbreaks of dengue fever and malaria in real time, ask biotechnology specialist PathXL why its software for tumour tissue analysis could mean a leap forward in molecular cancer pathology, and find out how research organisations are working to boost clinical trial participation rates.

Completely open access to clinical trial data has been a contentious issue for some time. But could this be set to change? We examine new pledges from Sanofi, GSK and Pfizer to open up data under the new EFPIA/PhrMA guidelines.
We also take a look at FIT Biotech’s HIV vaccine trial which has attracted significant interest due to its scale and investigate what has happened in the five years since the influenza A strain was officially announced as a pandemic and whether we are now better prepared for such a scenario.
Moreover, we explore new a microneedle array that could soon be used for pain-free vaccine shots and checking of blood sugar levels, and take a look at Cancer Research UK’s new mobile phone game which is designed so players unravel gene data, helping with low-level research.
