Abstract: The disclosure provides a six-arm tunneling and anchoring machine, including: a tunneling system; a supporting system, wherein the supporting system is connected to the tunneling system, and at least part of the supporting system is able to be movably unfolded relative to the tunneling system, and when the six-arm tunneling and anchoring machine is in a supporting state, the tunneling system is lowered to touch a ground, and the supporting system is unfolded; a support working platform, wherein the support working platform is connected to the tunneling system, and at least part of the support working platform is able to be movably unfolded relative to the tunneling system. By means of the disclosure, the problems of long time and high labor intensity caused by the repeated forward and backward movement of water, electricity and air pipelines of a jumbolter in the related art are solved.

Abstract: A bioprinter comprises one or more dispensing units. Each dispensing unit may include (i) a syringe including a hollow body and a plunger dimensioned to translate in the body wherein the body has an exit orifice; (ii) an actuator in contact with a proximal end of the plunger; (iii) a controller for moving the actuator; and (iv) a nozzle having a wall defining a fluid path extending from an inlet of the nozzle to an outlet of the nozzle. The inlet of the nozzle is in fluid communication with the exit orifice of the syringe body. The nozzle includes a fluid passageway in fluid communication with a source of fluid and the fluid path. The bioprinter can be used in a method of preparing microtissue comprising dispensing a bioink from one or more dispensing units of the bioprinter on a plate. The microtissue may comprise cartilage cells or tumor cells or liver cells.
