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 ...

The inner ear may not seem like a particularly bony place, but human ears in fact have three small bones (also known as ossicles): the malleus, the incus and the stapes. While most people would assume ...

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 ...

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 ...

“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, ...

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 ...

3DBio Therapeutics, a biotech company in Queens, said it had for the first time used 3-D printing to make a body part with a patient’s own cells. By Roni Caryn Rabin A 20-year-old woman who was born ...

Medical lens-based ear endoscopes enable high-resolution visualization, enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of ear diseases. These devices use sophisticated optical and illumination systems for ...
