British researchers think their invention could eventually enable 3-D printing of living ortho implants, using patients' own stem cells. Chris Newmarker University of Bristol researchers say they were ...

While the 3D bioprinting of tissue and organs does hold great promise in the field of medicine, the printed materials typically have quite a short shelf life. An experimental new bio-ink, however, ...

Patients in need of an organ transplant face a grim reality: according to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, in the US alone there are over 116,000 people on the life-saving transplant ...

For the many people waiting for transplants, 3D-printed organs can't come soon enough. Researchers have been making strides towards developing the technology that would make it possible to simply ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago recently invented a 4D-printed living material that could be a game-changer for organ and tissue regeneration. UChicago researcher conducts experiments on a ...

An artist's impression of bio-printing.--Courtesy of the University of Bristol A new stem cell-containing bio-ink could be used to create living tissue through 3-D printing, called "bio-printing." The ...

Of all the applications of 3D printing, the one which seems most astonishing is the possibility of one day being able to use the technology to print out vital biological organs. But while we’re not at ...

A group of researchers have made a breakthrough in 3D printing by creating a bio-ink that can piece complicated biological structures with different kinds of cells, paving way for 3D printed organs ...
