A human ear attached to a woman’s foot sounds like a stunt from a horror film, yet it is the centerpiece of a real, carefully planned medical rescue. In a world first, surgeons in China temporarily ...

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 ...

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 ...

When it comes to repairing human bodies, there’s one major difficulty: spare parts are hard to come by. It’s simply not possible to buy a knee joint or a new lung off the shelf. At best, doctors and ...

The outer ear or external ear is the visible portion of the ear which serves as a protective organ for the eardrum. It gathers and controls sound waves into the middle ear. Ear Flap (Pinna) – The ...

The outer ear is unique to mammals, but its evolutionary origin has remained a mystery. According to a new study published in Nature from the USC Stem Cell lab of Gage Crump, this intricate coil of ...

Tissue engineering just got wilder and weirder. Using nothing but light and bioink, scientists were able to directly print a human ear-like structure under the skin of mice. The team used a healthy ...
