Printing Life: Fully Biologic Organ-on-Chip Tissues That Could Heal
FRESH 3D bioprinting can now create fully biologic, collagen-based organ-on-chip systems with fine vascular channels, mimicking real human tissue. Watch the video to see how these constructs support better cell adhesion and remodeling than traditional devices and enable realistic disease models — including pancreatic-like tissue with potential for Type 1 diabetes therapy.

Rewriting the Brain — and the Bedside — with Immersive Technology
From the operating room to the ICU, immersive tech is reshaping care. Researchers and clinicians are leveraging holographic visualization and VR to tackle some of neuro- and critical-care’s toughest challenges — from guiding electrode placement in deep brain stimulation with HoloLens-based 3D mapping, to recreating PTSD triggers in controlled virtual environments to refine brain-stimulation therapies, to transforming early ICU mobilization with game-like experiences that boost patient engagement.

Virtual Models Poised to Revolutionize Obstetric Practice
A new era in maternal-fetal care is emerging as mechanical engineering meets obstetrics. Watch the video to see how Kristin Myers, PhD, uses precise biomechanical measurements of reproductive tissues to create patient-specific “digital twin” cervices. These virtual models allow clinicians and engineers to test interventions, refine device design, and probe the mechanics underlying preterm birth.

Meet Sybil: The AI That Sees Lung Cancer Before It Strikes
MIT’s Jameel Clinic has developed Sybil, an AI-powered tool that analyzes CT scans to predict a patient’s risk of developing lung cancer up to six years in advance. Watch the video to see how unlike traditional methods that rely on age and smoking history, Sybil detects subtle patterns across the entire scan — beyond what human eyes can see.
