Japanese Researchers Say Bone and Tissue Bioprinting Process Could Be A Year Away...

[RK85]

Japanese scientists say they’re well on the way to creating custom-made skin, bone, cartilege and joints using 3D bioprinting technology.

The process combines stem cells – proto-cells capable of developing into nearly any body part – and a synthetic substance similar to human collagen which mimics the structure of organs like the tough outer surface and spongy inside of bones and cartilege.

good. Once this kind of thing gets going it will be a huge change in so many aspects of medicine even beyond male pattern baldness. Eventually it will be the end of male pattern baldness but as always its going to take time
