Qrons is Developing 3D Printable Implants to Treat Brain Injuries
October 18, 2019 - by Vanesa Listek - 3D Printing - 3D Printing Materials - Medical 3D Printing
Every year traumatic brain injuries (TBI) affect an average of 69 million individuals worldwide. Although the number is less than one percent of the total global population, it is large enough to draw attention from researchers and companies trying to ease the pain and suffering related to the injury, which is usually the result of a fall, a sports injury and especially traffic accidents. In the United States, it is one of the leading causes of death and disability among children and young adults. With so many biotechnology companies springing up to resolve, via bioprinting, many common afflictions and diseases, one of them has been developing advanced stem cell-based solutions since 2016 to combat neuronal injuries, with a particular focus on TBI and concussions.
Qrons, headquartered in New York, is now going further with their innovative research after they announced an agreement with Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire, for an exclusive worldwide license to develop innovative 3D printable biocompatible materials to treat penetrating brain injuries, and more.
The agreement, signed October on 2, allows Qrons to use a patented 3D process entitled Mechanically Interlocked Molecules-based Materials for 3D Printing as part of its injury-specific 3D printable implants to treat penetrating brain injuries. Qrons is also a funding party to a sponsored research agreement with Dartmouth to advance the license or ownership of additional intellectual property, and the company’s research team is already working closely with Chenfeng Ke, the inventor of the licensed 3D process and an Assistant Professor at the university’s Department of Chemistry, to develop innovative 3D printable, biocompatible advanced materials.
Chenfeng Ke is currently leading the Ke Functional Materials Group Lab at Dartmouth, which focuses on syntheses and applications of polymeric materials for storage/separation and 3D printing applications. According to the lab, the research scheme overlaps organic synthesis, crystal engineering, polymer synthesis, materials characterization, and 3D printing, with an emphasis on the design of polymeric materials that are noncovalently assembled.
“We are excited to partner with Qrons and continue the development of smart hydrogels with 3D printing capability for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries,” stated Ke, who is also a member of Qrons Scientific Advisory Board.
Today, current treatments to help patients regain function after a TBI focus on reducing secondary injuries, mainly rehabilitation in a hospital or specialized therapy center. It usually involves a physical therapist and occupational specialist to help patients relearn how to walk, talk, and carry out other everyday tasks. Qrons claims that this treatment can partially reduce further damage but do little or nothing to heal the brain.
At Qrons, researchers use a multi-disciplinary approach to treat this highly complex condition, by integrating a 3D printable, customized scaffold with innovative, engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that target brain injuries to regenerate damaged tissue. The company suggests that these genetically modified MSCs offer a mechanism to secrete a continuous flow of neuro-protective and neuro-regenerative agents to drive TBI repair mechanisms. The agents can prevent further neuronal damage and have the potential to stimulate neurons to migrate to the injury site, regrow axonal processes and regenerate brain tissue.
Qrons already has two product candidates for treating TBIs, both integrating proprietary, modified MSCs and smart synthetic material. The QS100, an injury specific, 3D printable, implantable MSCs-synthetic hydrogel, to treat penetrating brain injuries, and QS200, an injectable MSCs-synthetic hydrogel for the treatment of diffused injuries commonly referred to as concussions.
The exclusive worldwide license for 3D printable materials in the fields of human and animal health will enhance the company’s research, leading to further innovations in a niche field.
“The intellectual property covered by this license has been instrumental in helping us advance our research on the treatment of penetrating brain injuries,” commented Ido Merfeld, Qrons Co-founder and Head of Product. “We believe combining Qrons’ proprietary hydrogel with customizable 3D printing capabilities is an innovative approach to treating traumatic brain injuries, for which there are limited treatments.”
One of 111 bioprinting companies in the world, Qrons is moving fast to research novel techniques for promoting neural recovery. Throughout the last three years, they have entered into research agreements with Ariel University, based in Israel to develop and commercialize products for neuronal tissue regeneration and repair, completed the first in vivo animal experiments for the QS100 and are close to beginning pre-clinical experiments for the QS200.
Jonah Meer, also co-founder and CEO, said that “there is a great need for our promising treatments, and this technology is an integral part of our work to develop innovative 3D printable, biocompatible advanced materials.”
As the widespread impact of TBI continues to grow, solutions like the ones proposed by Qrons could mean a different lifestyle for survivors.

Dartmouth Launches Major Conference on 3D Printing’s Future
August 07, 2019
by Bill Platt
The gathering explores soft robotics, high-performance materials, and more.
Next week, Dartmouth will host one of the first international, interdisciplinary conferences on the future of “additive manufacturing,” the rapidly evolving field of 3D printing using advanced materials to create a spectrum of objects, such as artificial knee tendons, an implantable framework for brain neuron repair, soft-tissue robots, and performance-enhancing sneaker soles.
Assistant Professor of Chemistry Chenfeng Ke, an organizer of the conference, notes a certain kinship between this conference and the 1956 Dartmouth conference at which the term “artificial intelligence” was coined. The AI conference, like the upcoming 3D printing conference, was a gathering of the research community in a field on the cusp of new realms of discovery.
“The AI concept was cultivated here, so yes, in a similar way we want to cultivate some interdisciplinary collaborative thoughts in the area of additive manufacturing—AM,” Ke says. He hopes the symposium can become a regular event held every two years.
The two-day conference, to be held at the Hanover Inn Aug. 12 and 13, brings together researchers and scholars from the fields of chemistry, materials science, computer science, and engineering as well as industry players and entrepreneurs from across the United States, Europe, and Asia for “3D Printing 2019: An Interdisciplinary Additive Manufacturing Symposium.” Participants will look at a range of ideas in the field, including materials development, polymer chemistry, computational tools and models, green 3D printing, and 3D entrepreneurship. The talks and events on Monday afternoon, including a poster session and industry demonstration, are open to the public.
Until now, researchers in mechanical engineering, polymer and materials chemistry, computer science, and related fields have conferred separately to discuss 3D printing research, Ke says.
“There are separate meetings, but they don’t have cross talk, so we wanted to create this meeting to bring people with different expertise together, trying to connect from the very beginning—from the earliest computation and simulation, to the end-part of materials making and engineering,” Ke says.
The biomedical, printing materials, 3D printing technology, and 3D manufacturing industries as well as major publishing houses in the field are co-sponsors of the conference along with Dartmouth. Top scholars and researchers will make presentations at the conference, which will also include panel discussions and opening and closing sessions. In addition to Ke, the conference is co-chaired by Assistant Professor of Computer Science Bo Zhu, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Engineering Jeremy Faludi, and from the University of Texas at Dallas, Associate Professor of Chemistry Ronald Smaldone.
Ke’s own research uses carbohydrate-based printing materials he developed to create a tiny 3D architecture that can exist symbiotically with biological organisms on the cellular level. His lab is developing this material to enable 3D printing of structures such as artificial tissue scaffolds for treatment in traumatic brain injury.
“There are a lot of things you can play with in 3D printing, so that’s why we hope to inspire the different people who have different specialties and try to bring them together,” Ke says.

The graduate students in the Ke Laboratory sent a 3D model of the Dartmouth 250 logo to the 3D printer for a special demo. The case for the printer is tinted amber to block ultraviolet light when the printer is used to build bio-compatible structures for use in medical research. The actual printing project took about 40 minutes to complete. (Time-lapse video by Robert Gill)
