As a recent preprint from Stanford University shows, even CRISPR gene editing isn’t entirely safe from the body’s immune system, though many other regenerative medicine therapies have already been tried […]
Today, cells grown in a lab can be transplanted into a patient to help heal skin injuries, and provide therapeutic treatment to internal tissue.
One day, …
The University of Connecticut has created a hydrogel suitable for supporting 3D printed bones. Without such support the bone cells would not be able to …
Biological and chemical researchers are developing 3D printable inks capable of self-assembly, i.e. forming a shape based on a reaction within itself.
In this article, 3D …
(SlashGear) Nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego, have created a 3D printed “liver” that works as a sort of filter, removing toxins from an ill person’s blood stream using nanoparticles. The 3D printed device was inspired by the liv…
