In a leap that could reshape how scientists study the human body in space, researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully 3D printed muscle tissue in conditions mimicking weightlessness. The achievement ...

On their way into space, astronauts' bodies deteriorate dramatically in zero gravity. To address this problem and protect our pioneers in space, researchers are looking for realistic test models. This ...

(Nanowerk News) Over the last decade, advances in 3D printing have unlocked new possibilities for bioengineers to build heart tissues and structures. Their goals include creating better in vitro ...

Researchers have developed a novel bioink that uses a sustained-release hormone to promote the growth and regeneration of 3D-printed muscle tissues. Their approach opens the door to developing new ...

(Nanowerk News) Empa researchers are working on artificial muscles that can keep up with the real thing. They have now developed a method of producing the soft and elastic, yet powerful structures ...

Bionic arms used to cost more than a new car. Today, that's no longer the case. Unlimited Tomorrow is making 3D-printed prosthetics available for under $8,000 and doing it without sacrificing quality, ...

A few years ago, 3D printing sounded like science fiction. Today, there are thousands of beginner-friendly designs perfect for learning the basics.

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient's own cells, ...

What makes a body’s organs into what they are is more than just a grouping of specialized cells. They also need to be oriented and attached to each other and scaffolding in order to create structures ...
