Surgeons and doctors often rely on artificial models to practice delicate procedures. Yet most training tissues feel stiff, simple, and far from realistic. That gap between training models and real ...

Auxilium says it bioprinted kidney and liver tissue on the ISS, a first. The near-term payoff is drug-testing organoids, not transplant organs.

TL;DR: Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed a groundbreaking system combining 3D printing and lab-grown organoids from patient stem cells to create functional, genetically ...

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- The science of helping people re-grow body parts is becoming more real than ever, and it's the subject of a conference happening right now in Berkeley. It's not all about ...

There are more than 100,000 people on organ transplant lists in the U.S., some of whom will wait years to receive one—and some may not survive the wait. Even with a good match, there is a chance that ...

Picture this: a 3D printer that can build a viable human organ at the push of a button. Sounds futuristic, but Dallas researchers are aiming to make that a reality. UT Southwestern Medical Center ...

Many of the technologies first fictionalized in Star Trek are now a reality. Using x-rays, scans, and a mixture of cells, scientists can actually print human tissue ...

A Missouri engineering professor has developed a process to use off-the-shelf 3D printers to make devices that can test medicines and treatments on tissues and cells. Medical research includes a lot ...

Headquartered in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, Vital3D employs a patented laser-based bioprinting platform that accurately expels living cells and biomaterials to replicate the intricate tissue ...

Expedition 74 crew members aboard the International Space Station are 3D-printing viable human cartilage tissues inside the Kibo module’s Life Science Glovebox, running a direct test of whether ...
