A team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota has 3D printed lifelike artificial organ models that mimic the exact anatomical structure, mechanical properties, and look and feel of real ...

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 ...

Biotechnology startups are creating tiny models of human organs in an effort to speed the search for novel drugs. By devising more realistic models of human and disease biology, these startups aim to ...

Courtesy of WFIRM Last year, in San Antonio, Texas, Dr. Arturo Bonilla carefully implanted an outer ear on a 20-year-old woman born without one. The ear on the woman’s right side, had been constructed ...

Miniature human organs developed with a modified 3D printer are being used to test new vaccines in a lab in the US. The "body on a chip" project replicates human cells to print structures which mimic ...

Scientists have developed 3D mini-organs from human fetal brain tissue that self-organize in vitro. These lab-grown organoids open up a brand-new way of studying how the brain develops. They also ...
