Optical phantoms and tissue-mimicking materials have emerged as essential tools in the validation, calibration and optimisation of biomedical imaging systems. By replicating the optical and sometimes ...

Norwegian startup ClexBio is bioengineering human veins to implant inside a patient’s body. Together with CSEM, a Swiss R&D centre, the company has built a prototype bioreactor to grow the veins.

Biological tissues have a remarkable ability to organize and change shape, driven by forces generated by their own cells. One of the major challenges in bioengineering is harnessing this natural ...

Researchers from MIT have developed a 3D-printable tissue adhesive that demonstrates superior tissue adhesion, rapid sealing capabilities across various surgical scenarios and a unique blood-repelling ...

In tissue engineering, the tiniest bit of improper force can harm a living culture. Spheroids—3D clumps of cells—can be used ...

Women recovering from mastectomies may soon have more lifelike options for breast reconstruction surgery, thanks to 3D-printing technology under development at the University of Maryland, College Park ...

Corneal transplantation using donor tissue is currently the primary treatment for corneal endothelial insufficiency. Despite the potential for vision restoration through corneal transplantation, there ...

Advanced biomaterials play a central role in the development of functional platforms for biomedical repair and regeneration. A wide range of material ...
