In this week’s episode of the YJBM Science News podcast, co-hosts Hanna and Roxanna explore papers that take us all around different organs in the body! Can we 3D print functional blood vessels? How does the brain spy on our organs? Find out the answers to these questions and more as we discuss recent Yale-affiliated research in biology and medicine.
