The notion of 3D printing human organs has been around for a while now. Just last year, after seeing one of my previous articles on additive manufacturing (AM), one of my astute readers asked me when ...

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 ...

Researchers have unveiled a new 3D‑printable material that can be stretched, sutured, and implanted, edging artificial organs ...

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 ...

Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

You may not be able to grow bigger muscles out of thin air, but you can 3D print them in microgravity, scientists at ETH Zurich have now established. "3D printing" refers to a type of manufacturing ...

Your anatomy operates like a machine, it's success hinging on the work of over 70 organs, each with a unique function. From the heart's blood-pumping ability to the liver's filtering power, each ...

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 used 3D-printing to create human liver tissue that could soon be tested on the International Space Station. In America, at least 17 people a day die waiting for an organ transplant. But ...
