It sounds like something straight out of sci-fi, but scientists can now 3D-print living cells 🤯 In the future, we'll be able to 3D-print entire organs, predicts bioengineer Professor Adam Perriman from @JCSMR and the ANU Research School of Chemistry. science.anu.edu.au/news-even…
3D-printed organs? It’s not as far-fetched as you think

3D-printed organs? It’s not as far-fetched as you think

These scientists can 3D-print living cells – a first step to printing our own organs.
