Scientists have used glowing chemicals and other techniques to create a 3D map of the blood vessels and self-renewing 'stem' cells that line and penetrate a mouse skull. The map provides precise ...

Defects of the skull and facial bones can pose difficult challenges for plastic and reconstructive surgeons. A synthetic material called hyperelastic bone -- readily produced by 3D-printing -- could ...

A 22-year-old woman from the Netherlands who suffers from a chronic bone disorder -- which has increased the thickness of her skull from 1.5cm to 5cm, causing reduced eyesight and severe headaches -- ...

We've been able to aid the body's own repair of damaged bones for a relatively long time, but now we're ready to use 3D-printing to completely replace damaged bone. Earlier this week, 75% of a patient ...

New research reveals how the neurovascular architecture of the murine calvarium, the skull's upper part, changes with age. Using advanced three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques, scientists ...

The research team set about scanning the fossil with high-resolution computed tomography (CT), a method that uses multiple X-ray images from different angles to create a 3D representation of the ...
