Scientists used patient stem cells and 3D bioprinting to produce eye tissue that will advance understanding of the mechanisms of blinding diseases. The research team printed a combination of cells ...

Neural tissue engineering aims to mimic the brain's complex environment, the extracellular matrix, which supports nerve cell growth, development, and proper connectivity. This environment is carefully ...

Commonly, it involves a computer-assisted motorized device that deposits biocompatible materials, viable cells, growth factors, proteins, nucleic acids, drugs, and supporting components in a ...

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. Online cover of Science Advances, April issue. A ...

Lab-grown skin captures the complexities of real disease to develop more effective treatments for scleroderma and other life-threatening conditions. For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune ...

Heart rates are easier to monitor today than ever before. Thanks to smartwatches that can sense a pulse, all it takes is a quick flip of the wrist to check your heart. But monitoring the cells ...

Engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are working to develop 3D-printed organic tissue models that mimic the behavior of living organs. The core concept behind their discovery is simple yet ...
