While Medtronic (MDT) is at work to launch its new artificial pancreas system, researchers at the University of Copenhagen have come up with a new 3-D method with potential to create mini human pancreas. It would be used to fight diabetes, allowing drugs to be tested quickly without using animals. The process uses a 3-D […]
We can now grow complex human brain tissue in a test tube. Scientists in Vienna, Austria, used a method that allows pluripotent stem cells to develop into mini-brains (i.e., cerebral organoids) that even have several distinct brain regions, according to an article in this issue of Nature. While this year has seen 3-D printed miniature […]
3D medical animation services have emerged as a groundbreaking tool in the healthcare industry, revolutionizing the way medical concepts are taught, understood, and marketed.
A cell culture startup that attracted attention last year for providing the scaffold used in the world’s second-ever artificial trachea implant has landed a $500,000 investment. Columbus, Ohio-based Nanofiber Solutions has received a $500,000 convertible loan from state-backed business development group TechColumbus, Columbus Business First reported. The company’s cell culture products use polymer nanofibers to […]
