Dutch researchers have developed a workflow involving 3D virtual and 3D-printed models that may change how complex spinal surgeries are managed. Using this new technique, surgeons were able to repair ...

Researchers are 3D printing replica human vertebrae which act and feel like real bone tissue to help train spinal surgeons before they go into live operations. A project led by Nottingham Trent ...

MINNEAPOLIS - You can 3D print a shoe or a hand. Technology has brought us far enough into the future where researchers are 3D printing model body parts too. Now, science has taken one step further ...

For the first time in the world, researchers from Sagol Center for Regenerative Biotechnology at Tel Aviv University have engineered 3D human spinal cord tissues and implanted them in lab model with ...

Researchers in the UK recently designed and fabricated anatomically shaped spinal implants using additive manufacturing for the first time. The work, published in the journal Biofabrication, will help ...

As people get older, the intervertebral discs in their spine tend to deteriorate, some of which end up being surgically replaced with implants. A new patient-specific spinal model, however, could help ...

On August 22, 2017, Emerging Implant Technologies GmbH (EIT) announced the acquisition of 22 patents and pending applications relating to 3D printed expandable spinal fusion cages based on living ...

3D printed implants are soft bridges that guide new nerve cells to grow across a tear or break in an injured spinal cord and restored movement. The work has so far shown promise in rats with severe ...

Scientists at the Sagol Center for Regenerative Biotechnology, the Shmunis School of Biomedicine and Cancer Research, and the department of biomedical engineering at Tel Aviv University have generated ...

Researchers from the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a new 3D implant solution that helps heal spinal cord injuries. Their study, published in the journal Bioactive ...
