Gravity often acts as an enemy in the delicate world of 3D bioprinting. Living cells frequently sink to the bottom of printer syringes. This settling creates clogs and uneven tissue distribution. MIT ...

D printing in medicine is transforming surgery through customized implants, medical bioprinting, and the future of 3D-printed ...

The organ transplant waiting list numbers 8,000 people each year in Germany alone, and about 10% of them never receive an organ. 3D bioprinting could help address the global shortage of donor organs ...

Researchers at Rice University have developed a 3D printing technique that utilizes focused microwave energy to embed functional electronics directly into temperature-sensitive materials, such as ...

A research team has developed a support-bath bioprinting method that enables fragile, mature human adipocytes to be ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Every year, countless patients wait for life-saving organs for transplantation, with waiting lists stretching for years. With its development of bio-inks, the Fraunhofer Institute has taken a major ...

Nature has spent millions of years optimizing the connection between bone and tendon. Over a very short distance, the body ...

Auxilium Biotechnologies has bioprinted kidney and liver tissue aboard the International Space Station. It says that is the first time anyone has made either in space. The samples flew home last month ...

A research team has developed a support-bath bioprinting method that enables fragile, mature human adipocytes to be ...

The CRAFT method uses widely available materials and inexpensive commercial 3D printers. Using an affordable 3D printer and the CRAFT method, researchers created a model human hand from a single ...
