Patient in 3D skin printer. Artwork of a female patient having new skin printed onto a leg wound. Organ printing is a proposed organ manufacturing technique where an ink jet-type printer uses cell types instead of ink. The use of a sticky gel provides a supporting framework for the cells. The printer places gel and cells in complex patterns arranged in layers on top of each other. When the gel is washed away,the result is a three-dimensional organ. The technology is under development and the first printed organs are expected to be unveiled in around 2014 | |
