You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH ...

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 have now demonstrated a method by which specific cell types in human organs can be studied with micrometer precision. The method can be used to reveal previously unrecognized alterations ...

GEORGETOWN, Texas (KXAN) — You have probably heard of 3D printed homes and toys, but students at Southwestern University in Georgetown are learning how to 3D print human tissue and organs. “This is ...

The field of therapeutic cloning has long sought to provide a way to create replacement organs and tissues from a patient’s own cells, with the most recent boost coming from the US Advanced Research ...

A new study provides a powerful way to study infections in environments that closely mimic human organs. The strategy, tested ...

There is no doubt that 3D bioprinting is a technology of the future. Imagine being able to print a kidney or liver on demand. This is a stark contrast to the long wait for a donor organ today.

A new type of 3D-printable material that gets along with the body's immune system, pioneered by a University of Virginia ...

With too few organs to go around to satisfy the demand for transplants, scientists are now pinning their hopes on the possibility of 3D-printing technology. In the United States alone, there are an ...

Researchers recently transplanted a 3D-printed ear made from stem cells onto a 20-year-old woman born with microtia. Biotech company United Therapeutics this week said it produced a 3D-printed human ...

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 ...
