Do you feel like you are living in a sci-fi version of the future? Because you probably should. 🦵 engineering

have allowed medical researchers to print things that were not possible to make using the previous version of this technology, including food, medicine, and even body parts.that had lost part of its skull after cancer surgery. “By performing these procedures in our animal patients, we can provide valuable information that can be used to show the value and safety of these implants for humans”, said veterinary surgical oncologist Michelle Oblak at the time.

carrier material or scaffold. This carrier is usually a type of biopolymer gel, which acts as a 3D molecular scaffold and provides protection for the cells during the printing process. Cells attach to the gel, which is sturdy enough to allow printing and flexible enough to allow the flow and diffusion of nutrients and the movement of cells. This combination of

A research fellow, Dr. Young Joon Seol, works on a project to print experimental muscle tissue for reconstructive surgery. The cells are kept alive using liquefied nutrients and oxygen during the whole process. With this technique, the scientists managed to 3D print stem cells taken from a patient’s body fat onto a layer of hydrogel. This hydrogel facilitates cell growth in vitro in a culture, forming either a ligament or tendon in the process.

Skin grafting is the transplantation of healthy skin from an animal, a human donor, or the patient’s own body to another part of his or her body where the skin is badly damaged. The procedure is commonly used to treat severe wounds, burns, ulcers, and infections, or after the removal of skin cancers. But the technique involves several risks, from hemorrhages and loss of sensitivity to infections, scarring, and rejection.

. Roughly 17 of them die each day because they don’t receive the organ they need. This is largely due to the lack of donors. Although around 60% of Americans are signed up as donors, organ donation is only possible in 3 out of every 1,000 deaths.
