Bit of a tear-jerker, that story, but it's less sci-fi than it once was, as people slowly hear more and more about what …and more »
Researchers successfully 3D print blood vessels, a ‘game changer’ for artificial organs (Venturebeat?format=xml)
Hundreds of thousands of people die annually because the demand for organs far exceeds the donor supply. Artificial organs could save those lives — and scientists just made a huge breakthrough in the field by "bio-printing" artificial vascular networks. Researchers from the University of Sydney, MIT, Harvard, and Stanford have successfully bio-printed blood vessels, offering 3D-printed organs access to nutrients, […]
