Washington University researchers have pioneered a technique allowing them to use a 3D printer to create bone-like material that spurs actual bone growth. The material, created by the inkjet spray, ...

New protein-polysaccharide bio-ink enhances 3D bioprinting precision, cell viability and structural strength, offering ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Inside a quiet lab at the University of Texas at Austin, a plastic hand slowly emerges from a shimmering vat of liquid resin. It looks like something straight out of “The Terminator.” ...
