Are they fetal brains in a jar? No. Should we still be excited and slightly concerned? Yes.

Scientists are growing mini-intestines that stretch and bulge just like the real thing

This could lead to developments in personalized medicine and treatment of chronic intestinal diseases

3D printed hearts that beat like the real thing may make organ transplant lists a thing of the past

Bioengineers solved an old technical problem with scaffolds that melt away when the printing is done

Futuristic organ-on-a-chip technology now seems more realistic than ever

Researchers have pioneered what may be the most accurate simulation of kidney function to-date

Why scientists are transplanting artificially grown “brains” into living brains

Scientists are making major strides in growing fully functional "mini brains" -- but what are the ethics of such science?

3D-printed organs could help us heal faster and live longer

Researchers made waves last year by successfully implanting new jaws in rats
