A review paper by scientists at the Chonnam National University summarized the recent research on bioprinting methods for fabricating bioengineered blood vessel models. The new review paper, published ...

3D-printed organs are a biopunk’s dream and which may soon come true thanks to researchers from the University of California, San Diego. Led by Shaochen Chen, the team of nanoengineers developed a new ...

Ultrasound conducted before a patient develops symptoms could improve early detection of diseases in blood vessels, research led by the University of Leicester has shown. In a paper published in the ...

Imagine if you were trying to clear rubble out of a tunnel, but you could only see that tunnel from the side, instead of looking straight into it. Well, that's currently what it's like for doctors who ...

A new scanner can provide three-dimensional (3D) photoacoustic images of millimeter-scale veins and arteries in seconds. The scanner, developed by researchers at University College London (UCL), ...

Blood vessels are the lifeline of any organ. The dense web of channels, spread across tissues like a spider web, allow oxygen and nutrients to reach the deepest cores of our hearts, brains, and lungs.

Growing functional human organs outside the body is a long-sought “holy grail” of organ transplantation medicine that remains elusive. New research from Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically ...

Researchers are using ice as a template for the 3D printing of artificial blood vessels in engineered tissues, which could one day be utilized for artificial organ transplants and drug testing.

To explore possible treatments for various diseases, either animal models or human cell cultures are usually used first; ...
