To remove a tumor and keep it from coming back, surgeons removed a woman’s heart and rebuilt its upper chambers with cow and human tissue in what doctors are calling a first-of-its-kind operation. The ...

Synthetic tissue models offer a realistic testing alternative to the use of live animals and cadavers. Centuries of scientific and medical strides since the Renaissance would have been impossible ...

Animal testing could slowly be replaced with experiments using artificial tissue thanks to groundbreaking work using lasers done by the Vienna Technical University (TU Wien) in Austria. The idea ...
