Description
Alicia Olivas-Martinez and five co-authors tested in 2026 whether common 3D printing and bioprinting materials act on human hormones. Printed medical devices touch living tissue, yet some of their chemicals might disrupt hormones. The team checked plastics, lab-made materials, and natural ones such as collagen and silk with two cell tests, one for female-type hormone action and one for male-type action.
A third test checked harm to cells. The results, reported in the full text, found no detectable female-type hormone action in the materials tested, and the study sets out the rest of its findings in the same careful way. The work gives device makers a safety map for material choice.
