Title: Human Organ Printing
Human organ printing is founded by two scientist which have experience in 3D tissue imaging and stem cell biology. After finding the ability to print the complex microvascular system needed to supply oxygen and nutrient to cells, which are needed for an organ to survived, many scientists have started to believe that human organ printing could be the next solution to recover many patients. By coupling stem cell and immunology expertise with 3D printing technology they are able to produce organs and tissues with precise infrastructure.
Bioprinting has been introduced in the year 1999, which is based on the basic 3D printing technique by printing one layer of cell deposition at a time. Instead of metal, ceramic , metals here the input materials are considered as bio-ink, tissues and stem cells. In bioprinting cells start diffusing to merge all the cells in to form a single organ. The genesis of human organ printing is that human organ printing is a microfluidics-based solid scaffold-free technology. This technology has already successfully accomplished for some human tissues and organs tissue engineered skin, blood vessels, urinary bladders and even tissue engineered fingers are already a clinical reality.
Human organ printing is used to produce three dimensional organs with life cells. Now a days the basic principle among these printers remains the same procedure such as deposition of cells layer by layer in the desired fashion in order to make these organs with self-healing, vascular and patient specific. Specifically, there are 4 stages of human organ printing firstly they gather the sourced from the patient biopsies or stem cells and grown using standard methods and techniques. Secondly, the cells are cultured in a growth medium allowed the cells to grow rapidly. When the cells are produced enough, they are collected to make bio-ink and formed spheroids. Lastly, the cells are loaded into a cartridge to form as the bio-ink.
