During the past ten years, scientists who study how the human body develops and functions on the most basic level have enjoyed a renaissance of sorts, thanks to structures called organoids–tiny 3D ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
