Scientists have created paper-like biomaterials from organs such as the ovaries, uterus, heart, liver and muscle that are thin and flexible enough to fold into origami birds and other structures.

Scientists and engineers have invented a range of bioactive 'tissue papers' made of materials derived from organs that are thin and flexible enough to even fold into an origami bird. The new ...

Scientists are making use of discarded animal organs by turning them into origami – but it’s more than just an art project. A team of researchers at Northwestern University created the paper cranes to ...

This is no ordinary origami paper, it's made out of organ tissues and could eventually become a high-tech band aid. Northwestern University When Adam Jakus was a postdoc at Northwestern University he ...

Tissue engineering – the field of biomaterials research and development that combines living cells with 3D scaffolds and biologically active molecules to grow fully functional tissues – has made ...

A new tissue paper (as in, paper made from biological tissue) is so strong it can be folded into origami. Northwestern University The discovery happened, as so many discoveries do, by accident. Adam ...

A special organic paper that helps repair and rebuild tissue, muscle, and organs? After a small accidental spill in the research lab, scientists developed a biologic product that may someday soon help ...
