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 the ...

Growing cartilage tissue in the lab could help patiens with injuries, but it is very hard to make the tissue grow in exactly the right shape. A new approach could solve this problem: Tiny spherical ...

The use of 3D printing to fabricate patient-specific implants has made great strides over the years, but surgical guides and pre-operative models continue to be the most widespread application of 3D ...

In brief: Scientists at Stanford University are experimenting with advanced 3D printing techniques to grow human organs in the lab. The idea isn't new, but their technique is. Up to this point, most ...

When sixth-graders at James Dukes Elementary School walked into their science and social studies class on Nov. 22. they got a big surprise. “Is this Christmas?” one of the students said, while others ...
