More than 113,000 people are currently on the national transplant list. And with a shortage of donors, this means that about 20 people will die every day while waiting for an organ, according to the U.S. Department of Health. But this could change thanks to researchers at UC Berkeley, who have developed a device that may be

The jawbone is a particularly difficult site for a surgeon to repair after an injury, cancer, or bone infection. Usually, a damaged part is replaced with healthy tissue from the calf bone. The surgeon needs to remove a piece of calf bone large enough to shape into the void in the jaw. Tissue engineers have been developing ways to
