In situ bioprinting, which involves 3D printing biocompatible structures and tissues directly within the body, has seen steady progress over the past few years. In a recent study, a team of ...

Since the first artificial kidney was developed in the 1940s, scientists have continued to engineer life-saving and research field-transforming artificial organs, devices, and tissues. In this article ...

The potential for 3D bioprinting has been further expanded thanks to the work of engineers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who have developed a soft robotic arm that can print directly ...

Bioengineers have devised a technology that uses heat to remotely control the positioning and timing of cell functions to build 3-dimensional, artificial, living tissues. They designed 3-D printed ...

"There is an urgent and growing need for human tissues and organs worldwide, many patients are waiting.” The words are from Jennifer Lewis, professor at the prestigious Wyss Institute at Harvard (USA) ...

Innovators have created a biosensor that allows for simultaneous recording and imaging of tissues and organs during a surgical operation. Traditional methods to simultaneously record and image tissues ...

Mastocytosis is a rare condition where an excessive amount of mast cells gather in the organs and tissues of the body. It can affect the skin, lymph nodes, bone marrow, and other organ systems. Mast ...
