Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

In the world of medical advancements, 3D-printed organs have made a significant stride. Latest trials have demonstrated that these bioengineered organs can maintain their function for up to six months ...

A team of University of Colorado researchers has developed a new strategy for transforming medical images, such as CT or MRI scans, into incredibly detailed 3D models on the computer. The advance ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have successfully 3D printed lifelike human tissue structures that can ...

Scientists have been fantasizing about the potential of precise 3D bioprinting for years. Just imagine, for example, if doctors could trial therapies on an exact replica of a kidney disease patient’s ...

Small 3D-printed liquid capsules inserted between layers of tissue burst open, mimicking blood, when surgeons make an incision. Budding surgeons may soon train on stretchy, lifelike 3D-printed skin ...

A rapid form of 3D printing that uses sound and light could one day produce copies of human organs made from a person’s own cells, allowing for a range of drug tests. Traditional 3D printers build ...

This breakthrough combines 3D bioprinting, organoid technology, and placental research. It may pave the way for safer drugs, ...

The National Institutes of Health is launching an $87 million project to develop a standardized alternative to animal testing that relies on tiny, lab-grown 3D tissue models that mimic the structure ...

The placenta is a unique organ that exists only during pregnancy, growing at tumour-like speed to the size of a small dinner ...

Scientists at the University of North Texas report a breakthrough in building tiny, lab-grown replicas of human organs.
