Which will it be? Will we regenerate organs using stem cells and switching on genes to rebuild diseased or damaged organs? Or will we take a patients own cells and bio-print organs using 3D printers? Both technologies are showing promise based on recent In answer to this challenge, I explore how 3D printing has the potential to disrupt the centralised material economy and unlock the door to a circular economy. Researchers even foresee a time when organs and tissues could be created using bio-printing. Scientists have taken a step closer to bio-print transplantable blood vessels and organs. A group of scientists from the Universities of Sydney, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford and Harvard claim to have bio-printed artificial vascular At current price levels, Organovo could prove to be an efficient use of capital to buy into the hot new trend of 3D printing technology, while offering additional exposure to the benefits of the biotechnology industry. Its bio-printing technology has the While 3D printing has been successfully used in lung tissue and recreated tumors using bio-printing, is customizing tissue of all types for its current partners' medical research, Renard said. "We build custom tissue for them," Renard said. SINGAPORE — A local start-up has unveiled Singapore’s first 3D bio-printer — able to print biological parts and tissue, which could one day turn out to be a lifesaver, eradicating those interminable waiting lists for organ transplants. While 3D bio .

design evangelist at 3D printing company Shapeways. For Autodesk, as Carlos Olguin, head of the Bio/Nano/Programmable Matter Group, explains, it's less about patents and more about "democratizing the space in a responsible way." There's currently no Researchers have been looking into growing organs in labs for a long time Atala himself is looking for ways to make a kidney via 3D printing; he even showed off a non-working model on stage during his TED talk (seen below). During that same 3D printing allowed the researchers to quickly fabricate So, the scientists designed a new bio-bot. The new device is also made using a 3D-printed gel scaffold, but instead of heart cells, it uses skeletal muscle cells to move around. He adds that the 3D printing, as well as virtual electronic manufacturing, being conducted at AMTecH are done nowhere else in Iowa. In fact, the multi-arm bio printer being used of Health for the artificial pancreas research, AMTecH is looking forward .
