GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A double lung transplant patient is getting a new lease on life thanks to an organ donor and 3D printing technology. Wayne Morgan is celebrating the two-year anniversary ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan — More than two years ago, Wayne Morgan was often out of breath and coughing all day long. He was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and put on oxygen 24/7. Then, his doctors ...

Researchers at Texas A&M University model extreme conditions using 3D bioprinting, revealing insights that could make flight ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and ...

Engineers developed a procedure to 3D print a soft and flexible replica of a patient's heart. These models could help doctors tailor treatments, such as aortic valves, to an individual patient. No two ...

D printed blood vessels on glass that mimic blood vessel anatomy and the fluid dynamics of blood flow could be an invaluable ...

Our heart and lungs circulate oxygen throughout our blood vessels to keep cells alive. At the center of the circulatory system is the heart, which works with the lungs to constantly keep the body ...

Lungs are remarkable organs that continuously achieve amazing feats, which they do so well that we take them for granted, except when their function is diminished. It all happens in a space inside ...
