Scientists have developed an innovative 3D bioprinter capable of generating replacement tissue that’s strong enough to withstand transplantation. To show its power, the scientists printed a jaw bone, ...

It turns out the human ear got off to a fishy start. Literally. A fascinating new study reveals that the mammalian outer ear has its evolutionary roots in the gills of ancient fish. This surprising ...

3D printed tissues and organs have shown real potential in addressing shortages of available donor tissue for people in need of transplants, but having them take root and survive after implantation ...

When it comes to repairing human bodies, there’s one major difficulty: spare parts are hard to come by. It’s simply not possible to buy a knee joint or a new lung off the shelf. At best, doctors and ...

April 3 (UPI) --New research suggests inner ear morphology can trace the dispersion of early humans out of Africa and across the globe. Using computed tomography, researchers collected high-resolution ...

Phase-contrast imaging data showing the ear membrane and auditory nerve in the cochlea. The octave bands are shown in different colours. Humans can perceive frequencies from 20 Hz (the top of the coil ...
