Progress towards 3D-printed organs has been slow due to challenges like vascularization and cell viability. 3D bioprinting has successfully implanted hollow organs like tracheas and bladders, but ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- The science of helping people re-grow body parts is becoming more real than ever, and it's the subject of a conference happening right now in Berkeley. It's not all about ...

What if doctors could just print a kidney, using cells from the patient, instead of having to find a donor match and hope the patient's body doesn't reject the transplanted kidney?Related video above: ...

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 ...

The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine says it has a new use for its bioprinting system. In the past they've 3D printed normal-size organs and tissues in hopes of someday implanting them ...
