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 ...

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has gained traction in recent years and is now used across a wide range of industries for the quick and easy fabrication of complex materials. 3D printing is now set to ...

It's an achievement with important implications for scientists studying the brain and working on treatments for a broad range of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Alzheimer's and ...

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 ...

Women recovering from mastectomies may soon have more lifelike options for breast reconstruction surgery, thanks to 3D-printing technology under development at the University of Maryland, College Park ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

Scientists have ‘printed’ eye tissue to help find ways to stop people going blind in new breakthrough research. The new study used patient stem cells and ‘3D bioprinting’ techniques to make new eye ...

3D printing isn't just for toys and models -- doctors at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine announced yesterday that they've managed to 3D print "living" tissue and organs that ...

Scientists in Israel unveiled a 3D print of a heart with human tissue and vessels on Monday, calling it a first and a "major medical breakthrough" that advances possibilities for transplants. While it ...

Medical 3D printing refers to the fabrication of anatomical structures, typically derived from volumetric medical image data, and enables visual inspection and direct manipulation of hand-held models ...
