Tissue engineering combines biology and engineering to develop constructs for repairing or replacing damaged tissues. Over the last few years, this field has seen significant advancements, particularly in bone tissue engineering. 3D printing has revolutionised this field, allowing the fabrication of patient- or defect-specific scaffolds to enhance bone regeneration, thus providing a personalised approach that offers unique control over the shape, size, and structure of 3D-printed constructs.

- This study tested pegcetacoplan, a targeted therapy aimed at treating these conditions, over 48 weeks in two patient groups with CAD and wAIHA who received either 270 or 360 mg/day.
- Results showed that pegcetacoplan was generally well tolerated with minimal serious side effects, and it effectively increased hemoglobin levels and reduced hemolysis in both groups.
