At TU Wien, researchers are developing three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques that can be used to create living ...

Researchers have made a giant leap towards the goal of 'bio-printing' transplantable tissues and organs for people affected by major diseases and trauma injuries, a new study reports. Scientists have ...

Currently, there are 6,153 people waiting for an organ transplant in the UK, and 3,474 have received one since April last year. However, over 400 people died in 2019 while waiting for a transplant and ...

Bioprinting research from the lab of Rice University bioengineer Jordan Miller featured a visually stunning proof-of-principle — a scale-model of a lung-mimicking air sac with airways and blood ...

The first step of bioprinting is to create a model of the organ using biopsy samples, CT scan, and MRI. Then, a mixture of cell and nutrients (also called as bioink) are added to the scaffold in a ...

The ability to bio-print tissues and organs could one day allow us to create custom body parts that could be used for transplants. New research has brought that possibility one step closer to reality.

In standard tissue engineering, cells are seeded onto solid, biodegradable scaffolds, and are then induced to grow. However, that conventional approach is limited in its ability to replicate the ...

To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; however, animal models do not always mimic human diseases well, and cultures ...

In the 3D printing world, 2021 is shaping up to be the year of bioprinting, with both 3D Systems (DDD-1.62%) and Desktop Metal (DM) entering the commercial bioprinting market this year. Bioprinting ...
