3D-printed blood vessels bring artificial organs closer to reality New printing method creates branching vessels in heart tissue that replicate the structure of human vasculature in vitro Date ...

Organ-scale vasculature When blood is pumped to an organ in the body, it moves from a large artery into smaller and smaller branching blood vessels, where it can exchange gases and nutrients with ...

A computational model that could rapidly design a blood vessel network for any 3D-printed organ may take us a step closer to transplanting artificial livers, kidneys or hearts without the need for ...

The team even 3D-printed a model of the branching vasculature of a real patient’s left coronary artery into OBBs, demonstrating its potential for personalized medicine.

We were able to get to a density where any cell in the model would have been about 100 to 150 microns away from the nearest blood vessel, which is pretty good," said Zachary Sexton, a postdoctoral ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University constructed an advanced disease model for blood vessels prompting insights into Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), according to a study published ...

Described in Tissue Engineering Part A, the technique involves creating bioinks made from animal collagen. Endothelial cells which line the inside of blood vessels, and human pericyte cells that wrap ...

However, LLNL's 3D-printed vasculature device is well-suited for addressing the physics involved in cancer spreading via metastasis because researchers can control the biology, fluid dynamics and ...

Developing artificial replacements for diseased blood vessels is an active area of research within tissue engineering, especially given the huge toll that cardiovascular disease has on society.

A 3D model accurately mimicking the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...

Here’s some news Wade Wilson would probably get excited about: Researchers have just announced that they are now able to 3D print “living skin” grafts that contain functional blood vessels.
