@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.
@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?
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
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
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....
im going to apply for a job as a repo man

Where you can get human cell for organ production?

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