AI turns printer into a partner in tissue engineering

Organ donors can save lives, for example those of patients with kidney failure. Unfortunately, there are too few donors, and the waiting lists are long. 3D bioprinting of (parts of) organs may offer a solution to this shortage in the future. But…

355 million-year-old footprints rewrite the history of backboned land animals

Newly discovered fossilised footprints with long toes and claws have been found in a rock slab from Australia. The discovery pushes the origin of reptiles back by 35 million years and overthrows the established evolutionary timeline of backboned…
