3D printer printing bone-scaffold material. [Photo: Washington State University] Need a new femur? How about a new cranium? Thanks to a new 3D-printing technology, getting yourself a new bone may not ...

Researchers are developing a 3D-printer they hope will be able to print bones that come with their own blood vessels. That would highly improve the viability of print-out tissue. Printing whole organs ...

This best describes the new bone-mending technology developed at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois by Ramille Shah and her colleagues. They used ink made from a natural bone mineral called ...

DALLAS -- A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur -- the longest and strongest bone in the body -- that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a ...

This Friday's dose of macabre comes courtesy of researchers in China who are testing a new method to 3D print bones. The bones aren't like past 3D printing attempts we've heard of, however — they are ...

Researchers created a 3D-printable bioactive glass that supports bone growth in rabbits, offering a low-cost, effective substitute for bone repair. This 3D-printable bio-active glass (shown in pink) ...
