3D Bioprinting
The biggest news is in organ printing. While the bioprinting of whole organs is still a little ways off, already ,Organovo has been in the focus because of 3D printing of human organs as. THE California-based research company, has printed human liver tissue for drug toxicity testing purposes. And once we’re capable of whole organ printing, dying patients will no longer suffer an interminable wait while they discover if they’ve been selected to receive a life-saving organ. Instead, soon, we’ll be able to make organs from our own stem cells and replace them when needed, and all without the fear of rejection or lifelong dependence on harsh drugs.
. Seems a fantasy. Right..But it’s soon gonna be a reality.. . But first, these bioprinted livers could be finally used in the pharmaceutical industry to replace animal models when analyzing the toxicity of new drugs. Poor mice and Rats will now have a sign of relief as well as Mrs. Menka Gandhi in India, If it goes through in 2017, I hope printing actual liver tissue for transplantation could become a commercial service within the next decade, if the technology speeds up with such a pace..
