A breakthrough in bioprinting of living tissues could soon lead to 3D-printing of blood vessels and human organs, ushering in a new era of regenerative medicine. Guohao Dai, a bioengineering professor ...

At present, fully functioning 3D printed organs to be used in surgery do not exist, although considerable progress has been made. In a futurist article, Kristopher Sturgis of QMed has raised the ...

Researchers have unveiled a new 3D‑printable material that can be stretched, sutured, and implanted, edging artificial organs closer to routine clinical use. By combining the mechanical resilience of ...

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 ...

Thanks to special 3D-printed scaffolding trays designed by experts at Cincinnati Children's, researchers can now produce larger versions of functional human gut organoids twice as fast as previous ...

Stanford bioengineer Mark Skylar-Scott writes about what he’s working on, how it could advance human health and well-being, and why universities are critical players in the nation’s innovation ...

Imagine what brain surgeons could do with a three-dimensional (3D)-printed model of the brain. Not a structural model printed in plastic and uniform throughout, but one that mirrors the heterogeneity ...

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 ...

A new 3D printer has the software and material to create a synthetic heart that is as squishy as the real thing. Stratasys announced the new printer, along with three new materials and new software to ...
