  • im going to apply for a job as a repo man

  • Where you can get human cell for organ production?

  • Comment removed

  • im sure they use stem-cells are the building blocks for this printer, yet it seems that people are unwilling to make great sacrifices for great triumphs.. :(

  • Eventually I bet it will be possible to print a human with memory and all. Would need to be able to print at least as small as the neurons of the brain for that I guess

  • On sub atomic level, this is possible. Go go LHC.

  • I am also designing a deposition system for a miniature bioprinter to be used at the space station for testing drug metabolism in micro-gravity. the printer will be used to create the tissue samples to test ex vivo

  • @nick138meyers I just read that a German group has been able to print blood vessels for the first time. How much closer does this make whole organ printing?

  • @Air420 Well its a large step in the right direction but it doesn't mean we'll be printing full functioning organs anytime soon. It is not particularly difficult to print any one structure. the problem is in creating the necessary hybrid nature of a functioning tissue which means not only being able to create a blood vessel but being able to precisely print a blood vessel within a larger structure and also incorporating other structures such as nerves and lymph vessels.

  • This is actually the type of research i do at Drexel University. Iam currently producing sodium alginate tissue scaffolds to be freezecast with different metal solutions to study cell adhesion, proliferation, mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, and migration due to mechanical stimuli. Its good stuff. I can answer questions if anyone is interested....

  • thanks to religion holy books

  • Basically its a 3 Axis Coordinate Scanning Pick and Place system. One need a very high resolution XYZ axis servo/Stepper Table (compatible with tissue size resolution) and a tissue dropper pipit and a CAD CAM software interface with little vacuumed pick and place picker to produce a very basic structure. For more sophisticated systems like this video, a pattern monitoring video system based on image processing, temperature, humidity and some other layering medium may required.

  • Naive

  • @freedomwater519 how is it naive? This video is about 3 years behind what is really happening.

  • this cannnot be reallll!!!!!!

  • @tranceire yes this is very real. They've used similar technology to repurpose and reanimate a dead rat heart.
