Your anatomy operates like a machine, it's success hinging on the work of over 70 organs, each with a unique function. From the heart's blood-pumping ability to the liver's filtering power, each ...

Researchers have designed a new bioink which allows small human-sized airways to be 3D-bioprinted with the help of patient cells for the first time. The 3D-printed constructs are biocompatible and ...

Sitting in his Rice University lab back in 2013, Jordan Miller was feeling stuck. The bioengineering assistant professor had spent months trying to do something no one had ever done before: create ...

Your skin is the largest organ. The biggest solid internal organs are your liver, brain, lungs, heart, and kidneys. The medical community is also exploring whether the network of fluid-filled spaces ...

You remember the Segway, the two-wheeled device that required a gymnastics-level of balance to ride standing upright? Its inventor is currently working on an incredibly ambitious project to create a ...

A rapid form of 3D printing that uses sound and light could one day produce copies of human organs made from a person’s own cells, allowing for a range of drug tests. Traditional 3D printers build ...

For a minute there, 2018 was shaping up to be a year of new-organ discoveries. In January, Dr. J. Calvin Coffey, foundation chair of surgery at the University of Limerick, declared that he had ...

Miniature organs have a new lifeline. Mimicking the way early human embryos grow blood vessels, scientists nudged multiple types of mini organs to sprout their own vascular networks. Also called ...
