A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to ...

Advancements in 3D printing technology have facilitated the development of many new fabrication methods, enabling the production of cell-laden constructs,1-2 composite tissue,2 and scaffold-free ...

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 ...

A possible breakthrough may have been found here by a group of researchers whose article in Cell Stem Cell details how they created functional human neural tissues using a commercial 3D bioprinter.

The uses for 3D-printing tools are ever increasing. Printers create prototypes of medical devices, design flexible, lightweight electronics, and even engineer tissues used in wound healing.

Traditional 3D printing builds tissues layer by layer on a bio-compatible substrate. In bioprinting, the “ink” is a living material composed of cells and often cells suspended in a hydrogel.

University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW-Madison) researchers have successfully 3D-printed brain tissue that grows and functions like a typical brain.

Researchers 3D-print functional human brain tissue Date: February 1, 2024 Source: University of Wisconsin-Madison Summary: It's an achievement with important implications for scientists studying ...

The Bayreuth scientists have now combined 3D (bio) printing technology with touch-spinning technology in a single device for the first time. "The insights gained in this study are of great importance ...

Researchers utilize 3D printing to craft cerebral cortex tissues with organized neurons, offering potential treatments for brain injuries. This novel technique prints neural progenitors in layer ...

Zhang says the 3D-printed cells have a key advantage over organoids, the "mini-brain" tissue models scientists already use to study the brain.

Gravity makes it difficult to bioprint the finer details of human tissue and organs. That’s why the International Space Station is playing host to an experiment to 3D print organ-like tissues ...
