First commercial 3-D bio-printer makes human tissue and organs | R&D Mag
Scientists and engineers can use the 3-D bio printers to enable placing cells of almost any type into a desired pattern in 3-D, said Murphy. Researchers can place liver cells on a preformed scaffold, support kidney cells with a co-printed scaffold, or form adjacent layers of epithelial and stromal soft tissue that grow into a mature tooth. Ultimately the idea would be for surgeons to have tissue on demand for various uses, and the best way to do that is get a number of bio-printers into the hands of researchers and give them the ability to make three dimensional tissues on demand.

Ain't science grand? This is why we need to invest in education. You won't develop these in a garage. Could you imagine getting a new organ that didn't come from someone else dying?
