Progress towards 3D-printed organs has been slow due to challenges like vascularization and cell viability. 3D bioprinting has successfully implanted hollow organs like tracheas and bladders, but ...

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 ...

In a world-first, scientists at Tel Aviv University have successfully 3D printed a tiny human heart using real human cells.

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 ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

In Book One, Steele explores the idea of an inexpensive, organically grown plant that could cure everything from coronavirus to cancer to the common cold. In Book Three, the ancient secret to fusion ...

In a major breakthrough in human tissue replication, for the first time ever a 3D-printed cornea has been transplanted onto a ...

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 ...
