Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

A common trope in science fiction, especially cyberpunk fiction, involves custom-grown replacement organs based on the recipient's own flesh. We're not there yet as a species—and in fact still a good ...

Scientists have 3D bioprinted miniature placentas, opening new ways to study pregnancy complications. The breakthrough comes ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

A team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison claim to have 3D-printed functional human brain tissue for the first time. They hope their research could open the doors for the development ...

Biofabrication or 3D bioprinting aims to create tissue constructs for numerous applications including animal free testing, drug screening and regenerative medicine. One crucial aspect of the ...

The researchers published a new study in the scientific journal Cell Stem Cell, and according to the paper, the team created the 3D-printed brain tissue using horizontal layers of "bio-ink" gel.

The device is compact enough to rest on a fingertip and is compatible with current tissue-engineering technology. A newly developed 3D-printed device offers scientists the ability to build human ...

One high-profile research program is making headlines after going to a whole new level. Wake Forest University recently hosted the Regenerative Medicine Essentials Course, along with the World Stem ...

But only when it’s exposing 3D bioprinted material that mimics lung tissue to cigarette smoke to show that it reacts just ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of University of Wisconsin–Madison scientists has developed the first 3D-printed brain tissue that can grow and function like typical brain tissue. It’s an achievement with ...
