3D Printing of Organs and Tissues: Medicine is Personalized
Virtual Reality, 3D printing of tissues and organs, and intelligent fluidics allow doctors to practice on models with characteristics identical to real ones, improving diagnosis, clinical procedures, and surgical operations. These are the technological innovations introduced by the PRINTMED-3D project, one of the 33 winners of the Call Hub Research and Innovation competition launched by […]
Virtual reality, 3D printing and health for increasingly personalised medicine
Imagine that you know a person with a disease of the liver or another organ. Imagine that there is the possibility of creating in the laboratory a model of an organ with all the features of the diseased one. Imagine now that doctors could test a surgical procedure on that model and verify its effectiveness […]
3D Haptic Model of the Human Brain: To achieve a tactile response that simulates human tissue, a 3D mold and silicone gel were used.
3D Haptic Model of the Human Brain: To create a faithful reproduction, also from a tactile perspective, that mimics the organoleptic characteristics of brain tissue, we used a 3D-printed mold and a silicone gel mixture. The result is a 3D model whose tissue viscoelastic response closely resembles that of the human brain
POSThome: Sleeping and Working Area in a Post-COVID Model Home
In Milan, on the third floor of a 1930s building, architecture and research have come together to create POSThome, a university residence that embraces all the trends of contemporary living in the post-COVID era. Recently, more than ever, living spaces have been under the scrutiny of architecture and research—two fields we always knew would eventually […]
UPsalute
In this episode of UPsalute, the topic of personalized liver surgery is analyzed with Professor Roberto Santambrogio, medical director of the General Surgery Unit (UOC), led by Professor Marco Antonio Zappa. Additionally, several experts contributed to the creation of this educational content: Professor Paolo Milani, from the Interdisciplinary Center for Nanostructured Materials and Interfaces (CIMaINa) […]
