Mearian reports: Like other forms of 3D printing, bio-printing lays down layer after layer of material -- in this case, live cells -- to form a solid physical entity -- in this case, human tissue. The major stumbling block in creating tissue continues to 3D printing is all the rage right now; people are printing machine parts, statues of cosplayers, model homes, and even prosthetic hands that look like Iron Man’s. But perhaps the most interesting thing that’s currently being printed is human tissue. 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 Scientists have developed a substance that could radically change the protocol for healing human skin. Created at the Oxford Department of Chemistry, the tissue-like material consists of water droplets resembling caviar that are protected by lipid molecules. 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 The NovoGen Bioprinter fabricating tissue into a 24-well plate. (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 .

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 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 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. 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.
