Researchers from the University of Illinois have created a new kind of 3-D printer capable of producing complex shapes from sugar that can be used to grow biological tissues. The printer uses a ...

In a 3D printing first, scientists have figured out how to print artificial versions of the body's complex vascular networks, which mimic our natural passageways for blood, air, lymph, and other vital ...

In a lab at Rice University in Houston, a tiny 3D-printed model works like a part of a human lung: When air is pumped into the model, red blood cells take up oxygen as they flow through 3D-printed ...

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? The soonest that ...

Stanford bioengineer Mark Skylar-Scott writes about what he’s working on, how it could advance human health and well-being, and why universities are critical players in the nation’s innovation ...

A team of engineers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has developed a tiny, flexible robotic arm that's designed to 3D print material directly on the surface of organs inside ...
