Researchers have unveiled a new 3D‑printable material that can be stretched, sutured, and implanted, edging artificial organs ...

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — The technology is still years away, but researchers believe they are on the right track for a major breakthrough with organ transplants. Instead of taking organs from donors, ...

Progress towards 3D-printed organs has been slow due to challenges like vascularization and cell viability. 3D bioprinting has successfully implanted hollow organs like tracheas and bladders, but ...

3D printing is still a relatively novel method of manufacture, and has already diversified massively in terms of printing methods, materials, and design possibilities, finding niche application in a ...

A new kind of 3D-printable material that can stretch, flex and still stay friendly to living cells could change how medical ...

Given the shortage of organs for transplantation worldwide, medical researchers have been investigating the fabrication of artificial organs. One step towards this is a 3D-printed heart. In a new ...

CNN — Researchers have 3D-printed a heart using a patient's cells, providing hope that the technique could be used to heal hearts or engineer new ones for transplants. "This is the first time anyone ...

A plump piece of farm-fresh chicken leg rested on a pristine surface at Harvard Medical School. Skin on and bone in, it was precisely sliced to barely crack the bone. A robot arm swerved over, scanned ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

What makes a body’s organs into what they are is more than just a grouping of specialized cells. They also need to be oriented and attached to each other and scaffolding in order to create structures ...
