VIDEO: New technique combines glue and 3D printing to create tiny implants for tissue engineering
A key focus for biomedical engineers has been the design and development of 3D printed scaffolds that can be implanted in the body to support cell regrowth. However, making these structures small and complex...
Imagine that your teeth regrow from the root, a research team from KU Leuven could make it that happen, using 3D printing
In the list of examples of regenerative medicine treatments that doctors explore to regrow, repair or replace damaged or diseased cells, organs or tissues, we mostly hear about stem cell injections, platelet rich plasma...
3D Printed custom cartilage could help patch up nose damaged by skin cancer
Once damaged, cartilage does not usually regrow and is difficult to replace living the patient “a bit disabled” after a disease or an injury. The specific case of skin cancer often affects the patient’s...
It’s possible to produce fully recyclable printed electronics, with water and sound. Here is a demonstration.
There is hope for a new generation of recyclable electronics to help fight the growing global epidemic of electronic waste.
Behind the increasingly use of electronics into daily life, there’s an ever-growing pile of discarded...
Scientists made possible the 3D printing of bones directly inside a patient’s body
Up until now, making a piece of bone-like material to repair bone tissue of a patient involves first going into a laboratory to fabricate the structures using high-temperature furnaces and toxic chemicals.
A novel 3D...
A total of $6M will be provided to R&D units to Transform Coal Waste Into 3D Printable Materials
In a shifting energy generation paradigm, innovation is needed to extract the full economic value from coal waste.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) will invest $6 million in Federal...
