3D printing reached a new level when 3D bioprinting company, Organovo announced the commercial release of its exVive 3D Human Liver Tissue. Elsewhere in the 3D printing sector, trading was upbeat. Shares for Voxeljet (NYSEARCA:VJET) soared 3.16 percent While 3D printing has been successfully used in the health care called bioprinters, to print functional human tissue for medical research and regenerative therapies. "This is disruptive technology," said Mike Renard, Organovo's vice president of 3D printers could be used to make artificial human tissue to replace damaged cells, researchers say. The printers use water and lipid molecules to form thousands of connected droplets able to perform cell functions in the bodies, according to a study by While the media focus on the possibility of 3D printing assault rifles, something far more meaningful has been going on in a number of university and commercial labs across the US: research to print human tissue and organs. Though printing every other I'm Alan Faulkner-Jones from Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh and we're working on this bio-printer to produce small human micro-tissues for drug testing and drug production to replace animal testing. Marcus Fairs: There's been a lot of talk about 3D (Medical Xpress)—Organovo Holdings, Inc., a company that designs and creates functional human tissue has announced at this year's Experimental Biology Conference that it has developed a 3D printing technique that is able to produce small samples of human .

step toward printing human tissues, researchers said. Lewis and her team are now focused on creating functional 3D tissues that are realistic enough to screen drugs for safety and effectiveness. The study is published in the journal Advanced Materials. Now researchers at Harvard University report in journal Advanced Materials on a new method of 3D printing constructs made approaching the complexity of solid tissues. Moreover, when they injected human endothelial cells into the vascular network The 3-D printing of human tissue is known as bioprinting Stem cells taken from a patient's fat or bone marrow can provide the 3D-printing material for making an organ that the body won't reject. Scientists and physicians have engineered 3-D printed It sounds like something from a science-fiction plot: So-called three-dimensional printers are being used to fashion prosthetic arms and hands, jaw bones, spinal-cord implants — and one day perhaps even living human body parts. While the parts printed .
