A high-resolution bioprinting process has been developed: Cells can now be embedded in a 3D matrix printed with micrometer precision -- at a printing speed of one meter per second, orders of magnitude ...

To work toward getting around this issue, researchers used parabolic flights to simulate microgravity conditions, then 3D ...

ETH Zurich 3D printed human muscle in microgravity, advancing space bioprinting and biomedical research beyond Earth.

We've recently been hearing a lot about 3D-bioprinting, a technique in which small body parts can be 3D-printed out of biological tissue. Now, new technology promises to make the process quicker and ...

An international team of scientists led by the University of California San Diego has produced the first 3D-printed synthetic coral tissues that can house symbiotic algae. The team built three ...

In the last few years, the use of 3D printing has exploded in medicine. Engineers and medical professionals now routinely 3D print prosthetic hands and surgical tools. But 3D printing has only just ...

A team of University of Alberta researchers has discovered a way to use 3-D bioprinting technology to create custom-shaped cartilage for use in surgical procedures. The work aims to make it easier for ...

The 3D printing company's recent acquisition marks its commercial entrance into the burgeoning bioprinting space, in which it had previously been involved only through a research collaboration. While ...
