Columbia University engineers have created an injectable hydrogel using extracellular vesicles (EVs) extracted from yogurt. EVs are nanoscale particles secreted by cells that carry proteins, RNA, and other bioactive molecules. In this study, EVs serve a dual purpose: they act
Researchers at UBC Okanagan have developed a 3D bioprinted model that closely mimics the complexity of living lung tissue, marking a major advance in how scientists study respiratory diseases and test new treatments. Led by Dr. Emmanuel Osei, the team
MIT researchers have unveiled a new bionic knee system that could redefine prosthetic integration for people with above-the-knee amputations. Unlike traditional socket-based prostheses, which often feel like external tools, this system is anchored directly into the user’s bone and muscle

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a groundbreaking algorithm that significantly accelerates the design of vascular systems for 3D-printed hearts. The ability to fabricate personalized organs using a patient’s own cells has long been a goal in regenerative medicine, but
Stanford Medicine researchers have achieved a breakthrough in organoid development by successfully growing heart and liver organoids with integrated blood vessels. This advancement addresses a major limitation in organoid research—previously, these miniature biological models couldn’t grow beyond a sesame seed
