3-D printing

A newly developed platform may one day replace cell culture and animal models to personalize cancer treatment.

Researchers can print cells and biomaterials that make up human tissues, but there’s still a long way to go before fully functional organs can be made to order.

Skin is much easier to create using 3-D printing than intestines.

Researchers use 3-D printing technology to construct a brain cancer model that accurately recapitulated in vivo biology and predicted patient drug responses.

Technology is enabling increasingly lifelike models of organs to help doctors practice operations.

Researchers create a 3-D printed, portable centrifuge that can be affordably produced for science classrooms.

Mini-brains can be grown in culture or printed.

The tissue, grown on a 3-D scaffold and seeded from the kids’ own cells, was transplanted to correct deformities in their cartilage.

The DIY devices collect data and enable light stimulation, chamber agitation, and gas infusion.

The instrument presents a new option for researchers working on large-scale fly behavior studies.

This 10-centimeter-wide pig eye replica includes even the most intricate of blood vessels, some no wider than 30 micrometers.

A new prototype machine can make the biological molecules of one’s choice from digital DNA sequences.

The material is durable, flexible, and can serve as a scaffold for cell growth, a study shows.

Researchers have constructed prosthetic female reproductive organs and implanted them in mice, some of which conceived and gave birth to live young.

Researchers made a 3-D reconstruction of one of neurobiology's most famous brains—that of Henry Gustav Molaison (HM).
