incidence of chronic diseases rises. Regenerative medicine-inspired technologies …

Background Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is gaining increasing recognition as a
technique that will transform the landscape of surgical practice. It allows for the rapid …

Three-dimensional integrated organ printing (IOP) technology seeks to fabricate tissue
constructs that can mimic the structural and functional properties of native tissues. This …

The ability to regenerate damaged tissue is one of the great challenges in biomaterials and
medicine. Successful treatments will require advances in areas ranging from basic cell …

Background: It is important to identify new sources of transplantable organs because of the
critical shortage of donor organs. Tissue engineering holds the potential to address this …

In the United States, more than 2600 kidneys are discarded annually, from the total number
of kidneys procured for transplant. We hypothesized that this organ pool may be used as a …
