When people sign up to be organ donors, they often think about hearts, lungs and kidneys. But there’s another part of that decision that can quietly change — and even save — many more lives: tissue ...

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 ...

Biomanufacturing of organs/tissues in vitro has been driven by two needs, i.e., organ transplantation and accurate tissue models. Bioprinting, also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a ...

Growth plate fractures are injuries to the soft connective tissue in the ends of long bones of children and teens. This soft tissue makes it possible for bones to grow as children age. It’s also ...

3D-bioprinting method enables advanced tissue fabrication by using a yield-stress support bath that holds bioinks in place until they are cured and works with a wide array of bioinks WASHINGTON, ...

In the past, scientists believed that the fast-acting biochemistry of genes and proteins was responsible for directing the forces that shape developing organs. But a new study from Syracuse University ...
