Progress towards 3D-printed organs has been slow due to challenges like vascularization and cell viability. 3D bioprinting has successfully implanted hollow organs like tracheas and bladders, but ...

Doctors at Tampa General Hospital and USF Health are using 3D printing technology to make exact replicas of their patient’s organs. The prints help surgeons better prepare for complicated surgeries.

Researchers have unveiled a new 3D‑printable material that can be stretched, sutured, and implanted, edging artificial organs closer to routine clinical use. By combining the mechanical resilience of ...

A plump piece of farm-fresh chicken leg rested on a pristine surface at Harvard Medical School. Skin on and bone in, it was precisely sliced to barely crack the bone. A robot arm swerved over, scanned ...

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- The science of helping people re-grow body parts is becoming more real than ever, and it's the subject of a conference happening right now in Berkeley. It's not all about ...

Adjust the colors to reduce glare and give your eyes a break. Use one of the services below to sign in to PBS: You've just tried to add this video to My List. But first, we need you to sign in to PBS ...

The potential for 3D bioprinting has been further expanded thanks to the work of engineers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who have developed a soft robotic arm that can print directly ...

You can already buy 3D-printed houses, cars, rocket engines, sneakers, and, of course, sex robots. But can I interest you in a 3D-printed kidney? It’s an offer that Vital3D plans to make a reality.

Scores of sea lions continue to beach themselves along the Southern California coastline, stricken with sickness. Toxic algae ...

Scientists just took the next step on the quest to 3D-print new human organs The latest artificial organs have networks of veins, inching them closer to performing the full function of the human body.
