File this under unexpectedly cool: organs you don’t harvest, but instead print using an honest-to-goodness printer, just as you might words on paper, except in this case, the “words” are actual stem ...

Progress towards 3D-printed organs has been slow due to challenges like vascularization and cell viability. 3D bioprinting has successfully implanted hollow organs like tracheas and bladders, but ...

In a world-first, scientists at Tel Aviv University have successfully 3D printed a tiny human heart using real human cells.

Uncover the innovations in creating living heart tissue that promise to transform organ regeneration and medical therapies.

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

In Book One, Steele explores the idea of an inexpensive, organically grown plant that could cure everything from coronavirus to cancer to the common cold. In Book Three, the ancient secret to fusion ...

Guohao Dai, PhD, a bioengineering professor at Northeastern University, helped create a new elastic hydrogel material for 3D printing of soft living tissues, including blood vessels. The breakthrough ...

Bioprinting holds the promise of engineering organs on demand. Now, researchers have solved one of the major bottlenecks—how to create the fine networks of blood vessels needed to keep organs alive.

Redwire Space’s BioFabrication Facility, or BFF, a 3D bioprinter capable of printing human tissue. The project, sponsored by the ISS National Laboratory, will pave the way for in-space bioprinting of ...

In a major breakthrough in human tissue replication, for the first time ever a 3D-printed cornea has been transplanted onto a ...

The updated legislation expands the legal framework for organ transplants in the UAE to cover non-human organs, 3D-printed ...

MUNICH (Reuters) - Researchers in Germany have created transparent human organs using a new technology that could pave the way to print three-dimensional body parts such as kidneys for transplants.
