The development could help scientists develop patient-specific treatments and one day offer a lab-grown lung transplant ...

D printing creates solid objects from the additive process of layering plastics, metal, wood, synthetic fibers, and more.

Our bodies are constantly breaking down. Over time, their built-in repair mechanisms also fail. Knee cartilage grinds away. Hip joints no longer support weight. Treatments for breast cancer and other ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

It's referred to as a phantom, yet it's anything but scary. In fact, for patients who need tumors extracted, it could help advance a promising surgical procedure. Developed by Department of Mechanical ...

Scientists at the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering have created 3D-printed simulated skin that ...

Lung diseases like tuberculosis and cystic fibrosis can be difficult to treat. In part, that's because the two-dimensional models researchers use to study the diseases don't accurately reflect the ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into collagen designed to mimic uterine tissue —a key stage in reproduction. The ...

In a simulation, a bas-relief pressed into digital fabric produced an imprint that resembled the Shroud of Turin more closely than the imprint of a fully 3D human body. reading time 2 minutes The ...

Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion. Researchers discovered that it actively reshapes the 3D structure of the human ...
