Long term, the goal of 3D bioprinting is to be able to 3D print fully functioning organs which can be used to replace the failing biological organs of humans in need of a transplant. That may still be ...

Israeli scientists on Monday unveiled what they said was the first-ever 3D printed heart made of real human tissues and vessels, calling it a first and a "major medical breakthrough" that advances ...

A team of Israeli scientists has printed the world’s first complete 3D heart made with human tissue. Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) created the heart using a patient’s own cells combined ...

What do researchers do after they 3D-print a heart with human tissue and vessels, in a development described as a “major medical breakthrough” that advances possibilities for transplants? Do they pop ...

Microphysiological systems, or organs-on-chips, are emerging as a way for scientists to study the effect that drugs, cosmetics and diseases may have on the human body, without needing to test on ...
