A challenge for tissue engineering is producing three-dimensional (3D), vascularized cellular constructs of clinically relevant size, shape and structural integrity. We present an integrated ...

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 ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
