Researchers Successfully 3D Print Blood Vessels



Hundreds of people die annually due to the low availability of donor organs.  On the plus side, scientists have made huge strides in printing 3d organs.   The downside to these organs needs are the same as "natural" organs. 

From the article:
  • Researchers from the University of Sydney, MIT, Harvard, and Stanford have successfully bio-printed blood vessels, offering 3D-printed organs access to nutrients, oxygen, and waste-disposal routes, (according to a recently published study)

Read the complete article describing the method of bio printing that the researchers used.  HERE
