Scientists at the Pasteur Institute in France say they have developed artificial lymphoid organ-chips that recreate much of the human immune system’s response to booster vaccines. The technology, ...

A series of interviews conducted jointly by the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs, the National Museum of American History, and the National Library of Medicine. The interviews are of ...

A new kind of 3D-printable material that can stretch, flex and still stay friendly to living cells could change how medical implants, artificial organs and even batteries are built. Developed by ...

When 500 far-out medical investigators gathered in Chicago last week for the annual meeting of the American Society for Artificial Internal Organs, they spent much of their time discussing something ...

Scientists around the world are racing to create artificial organs that could one day replace the need for donor transplants. From lab-grown tissues to 3D printed hearts and lungs, the technology is ...

Though few people outside medicine and biology know the word, collagen is one of the most important constituents of the human body, making up 30% of its protein. In bone and tooth enamel, its long ...

A computational model that could rapidly design a blood vessel network for any 3D-printed organ may take us a step closer to transplanting artificial livers, kidneys or hearts without the need for a ...

The weather, politics and artificial organs may not seem to have much in common, but researchers at an international applied mathematics convention happening in Spokane would disagree. Mathematical ...

Liheng Cai’s foldable bottlebrush polymers can yield a variety of material structures with different properties that could enable applications from organ transplants to battery technology. A new type ...

A groundbreaking case published this week in the journal Med reported the successful use of an external, artificial lung system to sustain a critically ill patient for 48 hours after the complete ...

The lymphoid organ-chips are created by embedding peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) within an extracellular matrix (ECM), which can then be exposed to viral antigens to mimic the effects of ...
