    Organ transplants can save lives, but they’re plagued by long waiting lists and high chances of rejection. In a major step towards creating new organs on demand, Stanford scientists have now received a contract and funding for experiments to 3D print human hearts and implant them into live pigs.

    A group of researchers from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and Columbia University have discovered a potential new method to treat nervous system diseases using 3D printing. The team is 3D printing acoustic holograms capable of opening the blood-brain barrier (BBB) – a semipermeable border of cells that […]

    Axial3D’s precision 3D medical modeling offers surgeons unprecedented insights beyond conventional 2D patient scan data. These insights can add a completely different perspective to the pathology, offer information that just isn’t always available from a 2D image, and in many cases even change the plan for a surgical procedure. In addition, these additional insights are […]
