“The first advantage is you get
something in the exact shape of the
defect you’re trying to replace,”
Shakeshaff says. “More subtly, you
have the ability to organize where
the cells go within the scaffold,”
which leads to better blood vessel
formation and ultimately better bone
formation. <http://www.forbes.com/

“Most incredibly, though, these
adorable mini kidneys are able to
function in exactly the same ways as
their real, human-bred counterpart—
they can break down toxins,
metabolize, and secrete fluid.”

““This opens the door to a much
wider range of biocompatible implant
materials, which can be used to
develop customized implant designs
using 3-D printing technology”

“Printing a whole heart or a whole
bladder is glamorous and exciting,”
he said. “But cartilage might be the
low-hanging fruit to get 3-D printing
into the clinic.” <http://
