Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels ...

Merging electronics with human tissue, scientists have used 3D printing tools to build a functioning ear. Researchers at Princeton University reported that they created a functioning ear that that can ...

“We see in our specialty patients who have ear deformities, called microtia, which can be reconstructed, but it's a technically challenging operation that I think very few people in the world do well, ...

When it comes to repairing human bodies, there’s one major difficulty: spare parts are hard to come by. It’s simply not possible to buy a knee joint or a new lung off the shelf. At best, doctors and ...

NEW YORK-- A woman in Mexico underwent a groundbreaking surgery using a 3D-printed ear made of human cells. The procedure is part of a clinical trial by 3DBio Therapeutics, a company based in Queens.

Doctors say they have successfully transplanted a 3D printed ear implant made from human cells onto a patient who was born with microtia, a rare birth defect in which the outer ear is deformed. 3DBio ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

Human-like ears have been grown on the backs of mice using 3D printing. The technique could potentially be used to construct new ears or other body parts in people without the need for surgery. 3D ...
