An international team of scientists claim to have pulled off a first: Three-dimensional replicas of human blood vessels that are grown in a petri dish.
Using advanced 3D printing techniques, a Dutch scientist can implement a network of blood vessels. According to him, it could ensure long-term survival, effectively changing how we engineer human tissue.
Nanoengineers have 3-D printed a lifelike, functional blood vessel network that could pave the way toward artificial organs and regenerative therapies.
