Obstruction of the airway causes substantial morbidity, and with the increased use of artificial airways, the incidence of tracheal stenosis is increasing. A tracheal defect that is shorter than 5 cm ...

A medical breakthrough has been made using 3-D printing on a MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3-D Printer to create cartilage designed for tracheal repair or replacement. The research combined two ...

Daniel A. Grande, PhD, director of the Orthopedic Research Laboratory at the Feinstein Institute, and Todd Goldstein, an investigator at the Feinstein Institute, part of the North Shore-LIJ Health ...

The trachea is a tube-like structure in the neck and upper chest. It stretches from the larynx, or voice box, to the bronchi and transports air to and from the lungs when a person breathes. When a ...

It was recently announced that investigators at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research have made a medical breakthrough using the MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printer. Specifically ...

Scientists are reporting using bioprinting to print a tracheal tissue construct comprising of multiple different functional materials. They printed different designs of smooth muscle and cartilage ...

Reconstruction of long-segment tracheal defects requires a vascularized allograft. We report successful tracheal allotransplantation after indirect revascularization of the graft in a heterotopic ...
