Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

In the world of medical advancements, 3D-printed organs have made a significant stride. Latest trials have demonstrated that these bioengineered organs can maintain their function for up to six months ...

A team of University of Colorado researchers has developed a new strategy for transforming medical images, such as CT or MRI scans, into incredibly detailed 3D models on the computer. The advance ...

University of Minnesota researchers develop a 3D printing technique for realistic human tissue models for surgical training.

Budding surgeons may soon train on stretchy, lifelike 3D-printed skin that oozes out blood and pus when cut.

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 ...

D anatomy visualization has become a fast pillar of medical research, delivering an unprecedented understanding of the intricacies of the human body.

To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have successfully 3D printed lifelike human tissue structures that can ...

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 ...

Growing functional human organs outside the body is a long-sought "holy grail" of organ transplantation medicine that remains elusive. New research from Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically ...
