A team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison claim to have 3D-printed functional human brain tissue for the first time. They hope their research could open the doors for the development ...

A common trope in science fiction, especially cyberpunk fiction, involves custom-grown replacement organs based on the recipient's own flesh. We're not there yet as a species—and in fact still a good ...

The brain is probably the least explored organ, much of which is due to the difficulty of studying it in situ rather than in slices under a microscope. Even growing small organoids out of neurons ...

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

Researchers have used a novel technique to 3D print brain tissue whose cells developed into functional neurons that communicated with each other in a matter of weeks. They say the approach could be ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed lung tissue model that could help scientists better study and treat diseases.

University of Minnesota researchers develop a 3D printing technique for realistic human tissue models for surgical training.

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the ...

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

The researchers published a new study in the scientific journal Cell Stem Cell, and according to the paper, the team created the 3D-printed brain tissue using horizontal layers of "bio-ink" gel.

Minnesota engineers developed fluid-filled 3D-printed tissues that mimic the feel of surgery, earning praise from surgeons.
