A team from the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of the Politecnico di Milano, led by Dr. Andrea ...

Scientists are exploring leading-edge technologies that could transform how cancer is studied, detected and treated by ...

Scientists have been fantasizing about the potential of precise 3D bioprinting for years. Just imagine, for example, if doctors could trial therapies on an exact replica of a kidney disease patient’s ...

Growing functional human organs outside the body is a long-sought "holy grail" of organ transplantation medicine that remains elusive. New research from Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically ...

The field of therapeutic cloning has long sought to provide a way to create replacement organs and tissues from a patient’s own cells, with the most recent boost coming from the US Advanced Research ...

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. Online cover of Science Advances, April issue. A ...

A rapid form of 3D printing that uses sound and light could one day produce copies of human organs made from a person’s own cells, allowing for a range of drug tests. Traditional 3D printers build ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed 3D mini-organs from human fetal brain tissue that self-organize in vitro. These lab-grown organoids open up a brand-new way of studying how the brain develops. They also ...

Biotechnology startups are creating tiny models of human organs in an effort to speed the search for novel drugs. By devising more realistic models of human and disease biology, these startups aim to ...
