India, May 30 -- From 3D-printing human organs to genetically modifying mini-pigs, the Kremlin is pouring massive state resources into a futuristic quest to conquer ageing, raising questions about ...

It is now possible to obtain three-dimensional, high-resolution images of enzyme activity in tissue samples or whole organs -- thanks to probe molecules that anchor fluorescent dyes within tissue as ...

Wearing blue rubber gloves, Molly Dobrow reached into a metal vat of diluted sodium hydroxide and pulled out two dripping-wet models of human organs: a heart and a set of lungs. Made of Elastico, a ...

Growing functional human organs outside the body is a long-sought “holy grail” of organ transplantation medicine that remains elusive. New research from Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically ...

Scientists have developed 3D mini-organs from human fetal brain tissue that self-organize in vitro. These lab-grown organoids open up a brand-new way of studying how the brain develops. They also ...

In a latest review published in Engineering, an international team of scientists from China and the United States has presented a comprehensive analysis of the latest advancements in 3D organ ...

Stanford bioengineer Mark Skylar-Scott writes about what he’s working on, how it could advance human health and well-being, and why universities are critical players in the nation’s innovation ...

Researchers at Umeå University have conducted a unique three-dimensional mapping of an entire human pancreas. The study shows that insulin-producing cells can remain long after the onset of type 1 ...

Achievements so far include bioprinted human cartilage tissue and a mouse thyroid gland, and the long-term goal is human organ replacement by the end of the decade.

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. Online cover of Science Advances, April issue. A ...
