Researchers Just 3D Printed The First-Ever Complete Heart Using Human Tissue
16 APR 2019Scientists at Tel Aviv University have 3D printed a small rodent-sized heart using human tissue that includes vessels, collagen, and biological molecules. .
The technology is still many years out from developing a human working heart. The cells do not have pumping ability. but they can currently contract. The trial successfully engineered and printed an entire heart complete with cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers. A hydrogel from fatty tissues extracted from human test subjects was used to form bioinks used for 3D printing the heart.
The paper was published in the journal Advanced Science.
Earlier, in 2017, researchers at ETH Zurich created a 3D printed artificial heart. It was made using a flexible material.

I think this is among the most valuable information for me. The way you have explained everything has helped a beginner like me to learn the important aspects of the technology.
