Human embryo models capable of synthesizing their own blood have been developed, in an advance that could lead to new ...

The printed tissue grows and functions like that in a normal human brain, according to the authors of the new study. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

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 ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

Scientists have been fantasizing about the potential of precise 3D bioprinting for years. Just imagine, for example, if doctors could trial therapies on an exact replica of a kidney disease patient’s ...

Researchers have captured the very first real-time, three-dimensional images and videos of a human embryo implanting into collagen designed to mimic uterine tissue —a key stage in reproduction. The ...

To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; however, animal models do not always mimic human diseases well, and cultures ...

Our noses are home to a variety of bacteria. Some, like Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae, can cause serious ...
