This week, scientists announced that for the first time ever, they were able to 3D print an organ, successfully transplant it into an animal and get it to work. If you’re unsure of whether that’s ...

In a world-first, scientists at Tel Aviv University have successfully 3D printed a tiny human heart using real human cells. This innovation could reshape the future of organ transplants, offering a ...

Scientists have successfully 3D printed a heart using real human cells. The structure includes chambers, blood vessels, and muscle tissue. While still experimental, it marks a major step toward ...

A team has developed a new way to 3D print material that is at once elastic enough to withstand a heart's persistent beating, tough enough to endure the crushing load placed on joints, and easily ...

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 ...

Lab-grown organs are a long-time 'holy grail' of organ engineering that has yet to be achieved, but new research has brought that goal a big step closer to reality using a new 3D-printing method ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

The shortage of transplantable organs has spawned a fascinating science and market. A liver, for example, is often split among two recipients, while for a cystic fibrosis patient in need of two lungs, ...
