Scientists at Vanderbilt University have created a 3D organ-on-a-chip that can mimic the heart's biomechanical properties. The device ("I-Wire Heart-on-a-Chip") and the results of initial experiments demonstrating that it faithfully reproduces the response of cardiac cells to two different drugs that affect heart function in humans are described in...Read more

Duke Medicine researchers have created a 3D map of the human brain stem at an unprecedented level of detail using MRI technology. In a report published in Human Brain Mapping , the researchers say the new 3D model would be useful to brain surgeons treating conditions such as tremors and Parkinson’s disease with deep brain stimulation (DBS). Many...Read more

Computed tomography (CT) and 3D printing technology can be used to recreate life-size models of patients' heads to assist in face transplantation surgery, according to researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston. The surgery is performed on patients whose face has been damaged as a result of disease or injury. Results of the study were...Read more
