Bioprinters on the Way

Here's a breath taking issue that will change your views in ink-jet printers. Researchers were never really satisfied with the ever growing technology. They have been continuously enhancing bringing the latest innovations printing could ever offer. The researchers of the University of Manchester, UK have come up with an unbelievable breakthrough that made inkjet printers capable of processing human bones, skin, tissues and organs with the latest technology. This may sound creepy and unbelievable but it is not a fiction. This printer is rightfully and specially made for the scientists who are not able to generate larger tissues needed to supply their patients. The natural way of producing large tissues had a limited control of building more tissues of a larger shape and size. This printer is capable of printing not only one cell at a time but more than the usual. This makes possible the creation of bone grafts which is very helpful for bone attachments. The scientists said that this is extremely the greatest solution to their problems. The old way of growing tissues only reached a small size of grown tissues at a longer time. With this printer, the waiting is never that long again. Growing fast tissues is very essential for the skin replacements and treatments which are artificial. But growing a cartilage is still not possible. Who knows after a few waiting, cartilage is just minutes away with the aid of printers. The researchers of this team took their time and dedication in studying how tissues are grown and how its size and shape are obtained. With the aid of these magnificent printers, they were able to come up with 3-dimensional formation which is known as the 'tissue scaffolds'. These scaffolds identify the shape of the tissue as it completes its growth. This is obtained by printing the thinnest layers over and over the layers until it is able to form the structure. The researchers announced that this breakthrough is a big help in creating artificial organs in a day. For such a long time of research, comes the reality of the study. Imagine what printers can give us in the coming years? Who knows printers are then capable of creating a human genome. Well these things are never impossible with technology.
