Liver cells made with 3D printer
• http://www.cbc.ca, The exploding technology trend of 3D printing, which has already been used to manufacture everything from food to jewelry, has made its way into the realm of biomedical research, with one California company recently announcing that it had "bioprinted" 3D liver cells.
The San Diego-based company Organovo says it has used the technology behind 3D printing to create samples of liver cells that function as they would in a human.
The firm presented its findings at the Experimental Biology conference in Boston in April.
"We have demonstrated the power of bioprinting to create functional human tissue that replicates human biology better than what has come before," Organovo said in a news release.
