File this under unexpectedly cool: organs you don’t harvest, but instead print using an honest-to-goodness printer, just as you might words on paper, except in this case, the “words” are actual stem ...

Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the ...

A common trope in science fiction, especially cyberpunk fiction, involves custom-grown replacement organs based on the recipient's own flesh. We're not there yet as a species—and in fact still a good ...

Researchers have developed a unique 3D printed system for harvesting stem cells from bioreactors, offering the potential for high quality, wide-scale production of stem cells in Australia at a lower ...

The use of 3D printing to fabricate patient-specific implants has made great strides over the years, but surgical guides and pre-operative models continue to be the most widespread application of 3D ...

A factory in the Netherlands, Redefine Meat, is 3D-printing meat cultivated from animal stem cells and sold in restaurants in Germany. A factory in the Netherlands, owned by Israeli company Redefine ...
