Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health. Working with scientists at ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between neurons is disrupted, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury ...

The company AnthroTek uses resin 3D printing and fused depostion modeling to reproduce ultra-realistic masks and organs.

Scientists have taken a major step toward treating spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis. In lab dishes, researchers at Northwestern University grew tiny organoids of the human spinal cord. Then, ...

Our brains are increasingly plastic. Minuscule shards and flakes of polymers are surprisingly abundant in brain tissue, a study of postmortem brains shows. This appraisal of microplastics and ...

Researchers at EPFL, Heidelberg University and Roche have built a human mini-bladder to show how urine composition weakens ...

RIT researchers solve multiple tissue engineering challenges by developing a novel hydrogel to host human cells and a device to 3D print bioinks safely.

Human metabolism is regulated by internal clocks, the so-called circadian rhythms. Many processes, such as sugar uptake, fat ...
