Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels natural. The study offers the promise of grafts ...

I've done about 15 actual human body dissections as part of my ongoing professional training as an anatomist. You can become a bit desensitised to it, although people ask, "How do you put up with the ...

Each year, students with a passion to learn more about the human body can join the advanced human anatomy dissection team. The members of the dissection team meet each Friday to dissect human cadavers ...

“We see in our specialty patients who have ear deformities, called microtia, which can be reconstructed, but it's a technically challenging operation that I think very few people in the world do well, ...

Researchers have transplanted a 3D-printed human ear—made by the regenerative medicine company 3DBio Therapeutics—for the first time. The basic process involves a biopsy to harvest cartilage cells ...
