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 ...
Picture this: a 3D printer that can build a viable human organ at the push of a button. Sounds futuristic, but Dallas researchers are aiming to make that a reality. UT Southwestern Medical Center ...
The funding, part of a new ARPA-H bioprinting initiative, aims to create transplant-ready organs—potentially within ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A frequently reported fact in the drug discovery and development industry is that approximately 90 % of drug candidates reaching clinical trials fail, with even higher amounts discarded before ...
