Nortwestern Scientists Implant Functional 3D Bioprinted Ovaries in Mice Bioprinting

The new world of 3D bioprinted organs now includes implanted 3D bioprinted ovaries as bioprosthetic structures that, true to their design, actually ovulate, according to a study by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering.
