British researchers think their invention could eventually enable 3-D printing of living ortho implants, using patients' own stem cells. Chris Newmarker University of Bristol researchers say they were ...

While the 3D bioprinting of tissue and organs does hold great promise in the field of medicine, the printed materials typically have quite a short shelf life. An experimental new bio-ink, however, ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago recently invented a 4D-printed living material that could be a game-changer for organ and tissue regeneration. UChicago researcher conducts experiments on a ...

Patients in need of an organ transplant face a grim reality: according to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, in the US alone there are over 116,000 people on the life-saving transplant ...

For the many people waiting for transplants, 3D-printed organs can't come soon enough. Researchers have been making strides towards developing the technology that would make it possible to simply ...

An artist's impression of bio-printing.--Courtesy of the University of Bristol A new stem cell-containing bio-ink could be used to create living tissue through 3-D printing, called "bio-printing." The ...

Of all the applications of 3D printing, the one which seems most astonishing is the possibility of one day being able to use the technology to print out vital biological organs. But while we’re not at ...

ROURKELA: Researchers of the biotechnology and medical engineering wing of the National Institute of Technology-Rourkela (NIT-R) have developed a novel bio-ink for 3D bio-printing which can simplify ...

“To date, none of the available inks has been optimised in terms of both printability and cell suspending ability,” according to ACES Associate Researcher Cameron Ferris. Our new bio-ink is printable ...

BRISTOL, England, June 23 (UPI) --A newly developed bio-ink has allowed researchers at Bristol University to engineer 3D-printed tissue. The technology could eventually enable the printing of complex ...

Advances in 3-D printing have led to new ways to make bone and some other relatively simple body parts that can be implanted in patients. But finding an ideal bio-ink has stalled progress toward ...

Scientists have developed a new kind of bio-ink, which could eventually allow the production of complex tissues for surgical implants. The new stem cell-containing bio ink allows 3-D printing of ...
