Hopefully another small step forward that will eventually lead to further advances in being able to create organs and parts for transplantation.

3D printing of living tissue/organs

Re: 3D printing of living tissue/organs
I saw on TV a while ago an interview with a surgeon and a father, explaining how they had made a 3D copy of his kidney to see if it could be transplanted into his tiny baby. The copy of his kidney was soft and they placed it into a 3D copy of her diaphragm which was hard alongside copies of her liver bowel etc which were soft thus finding out if the transplant op would work before actually carrying g it out. Amazing.
