The claim of this article is that the 3D-printing
may be help to create organ for patients in the future, supported by the
evidence that some university labs and private companies have already started
to use this technology to tiny chunks of organs.
Since regenerative
medicine has proved that the first three types of all four levels of complexity
in building organs can be implanted into patience, scientist and researchers have
the reason to look forward to that 3D printing can contribute to the widespread
use of such organs. For printing an organ, one lab wants to use 3D printers to
print both an artificial scaffold and living cells, while another lab uses 3D
printer to situate the building blocks in layers to build tiny slices of
organs. So far, no lab has succeeded in 3D-printing organs with the tiniest
scales of blood vessels and organs, but bioprinting pioneers wish to make use
of the smallest 3D-printed organs, and they believe the bioprinting revolution
would happen in 10-15 years, which would change many patients’ life.
