A new approach to medical 3D printing is set to speed up the production of body-parts.
Scientists have demonstrated the ability to print three-dimensional blood vessels in seconds. If the technique proves scalable, it could revolutionize regenerative medicine.
Imagine being able to recover from a heart attack by replacing your faulty aortic valve with a brand new one, made of your own cells...
Printable blood vessels - that could be useful for coronary bypass, and basic structure of printing replacement organs. There's a lot of hand-waving about using your own cells (where do they come from, what stem cell processes?), but the potential is there.
