With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue.

Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of nerve tissue in the nose, researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical ...

3D Bioprinting Nerve Cells This May, Marvel released its latest Avengers epic, complete with a 3D printed superhero called The Vision. The android system is printed in a massive 3D printer called The ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed lab-grown spinal cord scaffolds using 3D printing and stem cells.

Scientists use a 3D printer to create brain-like tissue in the lab using a 3D printer and special bio-ink made from stem cells — an innovation that may be used in the future to help treat ...

Columbia engineers and neuroscientists have joined forces to create 3D videos of individual nerve cells moving, stretching and switching on inside fruit fly larvae as they move. Data gleaned from ...

In these diseases, the immune system makes proteins called antibodies that damage nerve cells and slow down messages moving from the brain to the muscles. This can make it hard for people to move ...

Nerve-cell tendrils readily thread their way through tiny semiconductor tubes, researchers find, forming a crisscrossed network like vines twining toward the sun. The discovery that offshoots from ...

Miniature models of the brain have revealed a "previously unappreciated" role of microglia, a type of cell found within the ...

Researchers at Michigan Technological University hope to use this newly acquired 3D bioprinter to make synthesized nerve tissue. The key is developing the right "bioink" or printable tissue. The ...
