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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Bioprinting holds the promise of engineering organs on demand. Now, researchers have solved one of the major bottlenecks—how to create the fine networks of blood vessels needed to keep organs alive.

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 ...

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.

It certainly would be great if instead of having to be harvested from a patient's own body, permanent skin grafts could be 3D-printed as needed. Well, we may be getting closer to that point, as ...
