Doctors and a tech company have successfully teamed up to implant a 3D printed ear onto a patient for the first time. The patient was a 20-year-old woman with microtia, a condition in which a ...

But the ear implant, made from a tiny glob of cells harvested from the woman’s misshapen ear, appears to be the first known example of a 3D printed implant made of living tissues.

3D printing skin, bone, and even working organs could change transplant medicine and medical research — but how, exactly, does one “print” a heart or liver?

The first human transplant of a 3D-printed outer ear was successful, which could lead to progress printing other human tissues and organs.

3DBio and the Microtia-Congenital Ear Deformity Institute conduct human ear reconstruction using investigational 3D-bioprinted living tissue implant.

Human-like ears have been grown on the backs of mice using 3D printing. The technique could potentially be used to construct new ears or other body parts in people without the need for surgery.

In a "groundbreaking" surgery, doctors transplanted a 3-D printed ear made of human cells on a 20-year-old woman.

The technology to utilize 3D printing technology to create replacement body parts for transplanting has been around for at least half a decade, complete with an aim to provide people with ...

Doctors have successfully transplanted a 3D-printed ear made from human cells onto the face of a 20-year-old woman who was born with a misshapen ear, a notable breakthrough in tissue engineering with ...
