Scientists are making use of discarded animal organs by turning them into origami – but it’s more than just an art project. A team of researchers at Northwestern University created the paper … ...

Prof. Maoz explains, "The use of 3D-bioprinters to print biological tissue models for research is already widespread. In existing technologies, the printer head moves back and forth, printing ...

Origami - the Japanese art of folding paper into shapes and figures - dates back to the sixth century. At UMass Lowell, it is inspiring researchers as they develop a 21st-century solution to the ...

He even playfully folded them into an origami bird. "Even when wet, the tissue papers maintain their mechanical properties and can be rolled, folded, cut and sutured to tissue," he said.

This research could help alleviate the acute shortage of tissue and organ donors. Using origami – the Japanese art of paper folding – as inspiration, Camci-Unal and her team are using plain paper to ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists and engineers have invented a range of bioactive “tissue papers” made of materials derived from organs that are thin and flexible enough to even fold into an origami ...

The tissue papers feel and behave much like standard office paper when they are dry, Jakus said. Jakus simply stacks them in a refrigerator or a freezer. He even playfully folded them into an origami ...
