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 ...

A new, easily adopted, 3D-printed device will enable scientists to create models of human tissue with even greater control and complexity. An interdisciplinary group of researchers at the University ...

Using their novel FRESH 3D bioprinting technique, which allows for printing of soft living cells and tissues, a lab has built a tissue model entirely out of collagen. Collagen is well-known as an ...

For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune disease scleroderma, better treatments can't come soon enough. The rare and sometimes fatal illness stiffens and scars tissue in organs like the lungs, ...

A 3D-bioprinted pancreatic tissue scaffold made from collagen, overlaid with the confocal fluorescence images of the internal vascular network (green) and the expressed insulin (magenta). Collagen is ...
