flag University of Minnesota researchers created realistic 3D-printed human tissue models for improved surgical training.

flag 3D-printed human tissue models, developed by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, are advancing medical training with lifelike realism. flag Using innovative bioprinting techniques, the models replicate the texture, strength, and responsiveness of real tissues, including skin and organs, and can be customized to simulate various medical conditions. flag The technology incorporates blood-like fluids and enables accurate tactile feedback, improving surgical practice. flag Published in Science Advances, the research is supported by the U.S. Department of Defense and part of the MnDRIVE Initiative, with future goals including complex organ replication and smart materials. flag Early tests show enhanced training realism and confidence among medical professionals.
