Scientists just took the next step on the quest to 3D-print new human organs The latest artificial organs have networks of veins, inching them closer to performing the full function of the human body.

For years, scientists have predicted that 3-D printing—which has been used it to make toys, homes, scientific tools and even a plastic bunny that contained a DNA code for its own replication—could one ...

which will then be ‘printed’ in its proper place to gradually build up the target organ or tissue. The project’s five year goal is the printing of a fully functioning human heart and ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Researchers at Bighamton University are working on a 3D printing process that will allow them to build tissues and organs in a lab. This could save lives as people ...
