Scientists from the USA for the first time managed to print a fragment on a 3D printer skin with blood vessels. Institute scientists said Rensselaer.
According to scientists, currently damaged skin replaced with a special cloth that resembles a regular patch. A new skin can provide quick healing of wounds, moreover, it can be fully integrated into the body.
Researchers finally managed to solve the problem of adaptation tissue by injecting blood vessels into a skin substitute. In liquid material from which organs are printed has been added human endothelial cells promoting growth blood vessels. Was formed in a few weeks full vessel.
For experimental purposes, the skin material was implanted by the experimental mice whose vessels are connected to the circulatory system rodents. Scientists are currently continuing to research, getting ready to try out the created skin on a person.
More recently, a 3D printer was developed in the United States that allows recreate full muscle structures and tissues of a person.
