With the first demonstration of microextrusion-based printing of living cells in 2003, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has taken front stage in the development of manufactured human tissues. This ...

What makes a body’s organs into what they are is more than just a grouping of specialized cells. They also need to be oriented and attached to each other and scaffolding in order to create structures ...

Despite the growing number of organ donors in the United States, wait times for organ transplants tend to be absolute nightmares. Expected wait times for, say, a liver transplant typically hover ...

A UCSF-led team has developed a technique to build tiny models of human tissues, called organoids, more precisely than ever before using a process that turns human cells into a biological equivalent ...

MONDAY, March 7, 2016 -- Researchers report that they've made progress toward using 3D printing technology to produce human tissue. The Harvard scientists say they've managed to create tissue in the ...

Researchers are 3D printing human muscle in zero gravity to create better disease models and improve astronaut health during space missions.

You still can't get a 3D-printed liver transplant made from your own cells, but an Australian hospital is trying to push the tech into the mainstream. The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in ...
