Overcoming acquired treatment resistance is one of the major challenges in the fight against cancer. While combination ...

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 at The University of Texas at Austin recently received support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to ...

A rapid form of 3D printing that uses sound and light could one day produce copies of human organs made from a person’s own cells, allowing for a range of drug tests. Traditional 3D printers build ...

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 ...

What just happened? Another technology that's long been the thing of sci-fi has taken its first steps to becoming a reality: 3D bioprinting complex human organs. The concept of being able to 3D-print ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and ...

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. Online cover of Science Advances, April issue. A ...

Stem cells anchor the development of human organs and other structures, and, in some cases, can also perform repairs. The intensive interest in these developmental masterminds relates directly to ...
