Bioprinting revolutionizes transplants with 3D-printed organs. Is on-demand organ printing the future?
Bioprinting uses living cells to 3D print structures mimicking organs. Could this be the answer to the organ transplant shortage?
Bioprinting is 3D printing with living cells. A special ink (bioink) combines cells & support material. Layer-by-layer, these inks create complex 3D structures.
Bioprinting success: simple tissues achieved, complex organs next. Trials underway.
Scaling up production to meet organ demand. Mimicking complex organ vascular networks. Ensuring long-term function of bio-printed organs.
Bioprinting could revolutionize transplants by offering readily available organs. It may even lead to new treatments for other diseases.
