Some researchers at Vanderbilt University are taking the same type of device as a cotton candy machine (with some remodeling) and using it to 3D print artificial capillaries.
The 3D printed device is designed to treat tracheobronchomalacia (TBM), a condition that reportedly affects 1 in 2,220 babies which can cause the airway to spontaneously collapse.
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
Here is a brief look at some of the developments in innovation emerging at the Radiological Society of North America this year.
Observing a 2D image of a brain tumor can be challenging for patients to interpret and difficult to translate for doctors. Having 3D printed models of MRI and CT scans can make it easier to understand and approach treatment options.
Researchers at Northeastern University are using 3D magnetic printing to make customized medical devices, technology that will be especially focused on catheters for premature babies.
Neurotechnology, mobility and robotics are the main focuses for Stryker moving forward.
At the Abarca Forward conference earlier this year, George Van Antwerp, managing director at Deloitte, discussed how social determinants of health and a personalized member experience can improve medication adherence and health outcomes.
Ideas can turn into actual devices much sooner when prototypes can be created using 3D printing. That's what they are now doing at Boston Children’s Hospital Simulator Program.
Creating medical supplies as needed using 3D printing could be a more efficient way to cut costs and customize care.
Surgeons can only prepare so much for certain procedures because each person's body and organs are slightly different. With the help of 3D printing, a model can be made to allow for more detailed, individualized planning before an operation.
BioBots, a Philadelphia startup that develops 3D bioprinters, will debut its new $10,000, desktop machine that will help scientists print out their own tissues for preclinical research.
Gabby Everett, the site director for BioLabs Pegasus Park, offered a tour of the space and shared some examples of why early-stage life science companies should choose North Texas.
The FDA just approved the first 3D printed drug. Are there other applications for this technology?
Once reserved primarily for prototyping, the technology has quickly proliferated in the life sciences - with applications that range from personalized surgical implants, scaffolding and tissue generation.
Michigan Tech's building bioscaffolding that can help regenerate damaged nerve cells. And it looks like a gummy bear.
Missing a bone? A Chinese startup’s got a fix for you – it uses 3D bioprinting to build implantable bones, and is preparing to enter human trials, 3dprint reports. The company’s now looking for investors to help hasten its path to the market – since human trials are underway and will continue into June. This kind of […]
A team of college students is working on a way to 3D print bone grafts – mimicking the complex, porous architecture of the skeleton down to the micro and nanostructure level, 3dprint.com reports. The concept won the Cal State Long Beach Innovation Challenge – a competition that grants students $10,000 in seed funding, an office space and help with their business strategy. […]
