Clear corneal incisions have become the default entry point for routine phacoemulsification due to their simplicity, rapid ...

Custom pizzas, coral reefs, space fabric — all are possible thanks to 3D printing. Next, the technique could give some people the gift of sight. Scientists from Newcastle University have developed a ...

The world’s need for donor organs and tissues far exceeds our supply — but that might not be the case for long. Researchers across the globe are exploring way to 3D print everything from hearts to ...

There's a limited supply of donor human corneas, meaning that not everyone who needs an eyesight-saving transplant can get one. As a result, biosynthetic corneas have recently been developed. These ...

Researchers have identified a way to enhance regrowth of human corneal tissue to restore vision, using a molecule known as ABCB5 that acts as a marker for hard-to-find limbal stem cells. The research ...

The first human corneas have been 3D-printed by scientists. It means the technique could be used in the future to ensure an unlimited supply of corneas. The first human corneas have been 3D printed by ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists in Canada and Sweden have used laboratory-made biosynthetic corneas to restore vision to patients in a small human trial, and shown for the first time that they can help ...

The future of 3D printing and medicine is coming into focus. Scientists at Newcastle University in the UK say they've created the first 3D-printed human corneas. Using a combination of their unique ...

Newcastle University researchers have devised a groundbreaking experimental technique that could help millions on the corneal transplant waiting list. By using a simple 3D bio-printer, Professor of ...
