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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. 3D-printing technology has led to humans having almost anything we need in only a few simple steps. That apparently includes scale ...

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 ...

Researchers create a new polymer that mimics the mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic properties of brain tissue, driving ...

Adjust the colors to reduce glare and give your eyes a break. Use one of the services below to sign in to PBS: You've just tried to add this video to My List. But first, we need you to sign in to PBS ...

Bringing a new drug to market costs billions of dollars and can take over a decade. These high monetary and time investments are both strong contributors to today’s skyrocketing health care costs and ...

Because of the simple laws of supply and demand, many people every year die waiting for an organ that might’ve saved their life. While advanced perfusion and xenotransplantation breakthroughs could ...

A plump piece of farm-fresh chicken leg rested on a pristine surface at Harvard Medical School. Skin on and bone in, it was precisely sliced to barely crack the bone. A robot arm swerved over, scanned ...

Researchers are printing lego-like blocks to reconstruct bone. Researchers are printing lego-like blocks to reconstruct bone. And they’re leveling-up to print actual human tissue that can be used to ...

The potential for 3D bioprinting has been further expanded thanks to the work of engineers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who have developed a soft robotic arm that can print directly ...

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 ...

3D-printing technology has led to humans having almost anything we need in only a few simple steps. That apparently includes scale models of our own internal organs. That way, surgeons can practice on ...
