A Missouri engineering professor has developed a process to use off-the-shelf 3D printers to make devices that can test medicines and treatments on tissues and cells.

On average, over 8000 people die each year in the U.S. because they can't get an organ transplant. What if we could actually rebuild our failing organs? That possibility, of creating anything you want ...

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 ...

Because of the simple laws of supply and demand, many people every year die waiting for an organ that might’ve saved their life. While advanced perfusion and xenotransplantation breakthroughs could ...

Organ transplants continue to be in high demand, with many people dying due to a lack of suitable organs. Due to the high demand, considerable shortages and the critical importance to human health, ...

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 ...

File this under unexpectedly cool: organs you don’t harvest, but instead print using an honest-to-goodness printer, just as you might words on paper, except in this case, the “words” are actual stem ...
