What level of sophistication are we at in terms of bioprinting?

Post by samiaseo222 »

Although tissue engineering is a rapidly developing field, with the
introduction of numerous innovative technologies, the implantation of fully functional printers of
organs in the human body would represent a real revolution in the world of medicine, which unfortunately we will
probably have to wait at least a few years for. However, once society has reached this stage,
the commercialization of bioprinting should not be a problem.

The demand for organ transplants is huge taiwan phone code worldwide. This translates into a continuous increase in the number of
innovations, research and printing of organs. Those who manage to live to see a transplant must, by
taking special immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of their lives, prevent rejection of the organ.
In the case of printing, the situation would be very different. It would provide enough
transplant tissues that would be printed from the patient's cells, so the risk of rejection would be
significantly lower.

Poland's success in 3D printing

In March 2019, the media reported on the great success of the Poles, who managed to print
the first fully functional prototype of a pancreas. The team, led by Michał Wszoła, MD, PhD.
As soon as they printed the organ, they began testing it on animals. The results were very promising,
and the material from which the pancreas was made turned out to be completely non-toxic. The organ was functional, so
the team is preparing to carry out further studies that will ultimately develop the
technology enough to be able to conduct further studies with the human body.
