A common trope in science fiction, especially cyberpunk fiction, involves custom-grown replacement organs based on the recipient's own flesh. We're not there yet as a species—and in fact still a good ...

In a major breakthrough in human tissue replication, for the first time ever a 3D-printed cornea has been transplanted onto a ...

They hope their research could open the doors for the development of treatments for existing neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. As detailed in a new paper published ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

More than 100,000 people in the U.S. are stuck on an organ transplant waitlist, hoping to find that perfect match to their blood type, body size and hospital location.About 20 people each day will die ...

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the ...

The researchers published a new study in the scientific journal Cell Stem Cell, and according to the paper, the team created the 3D-printed brain tissue using horizontal layers of "bio-ink" gel.

Biofabrication or 3D bioprinting aims to create tissue constructs for numerous applications including animal free testing, drug screening and regenerative medicine. One crucial aspect of the ...

In his PhD research at Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht, Marc Falandt developed biomaterials whose properties can be adjusted even after they have been 3D-printed, effectively adding a fourth ...

Redwire Space’s BioFabrication Facility, or BFF, a 3D bioprinter capable of printing human tissue. The project, sponsored by the ISS National Laboratory, will pave the way for in-space bioprinting of ...

Xolography is a novel light printing technique that has been explored for dental products and in-space manufacturing. At Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), this technique has now been adapted ...
