We've been off of scoli research for a bit so I figured I'd stick this one into the mix. I knew things like this were being thought of, but didn't know it had already been done.
Anyone ever seen or heard of this before? I'm actually in a bit of awe at this. Especially since someone has already received one of these. I keep checking to see if it's from the Onion of something.
Scanners are used to take a 3-D image of a kidney that needs replacing, then a tissue sample about half the size of postage stamp is used to seed the computerized process, Atala explained.
The organ "printer" then works layer-by-layer to build a replacement kidney replicating the patient's tissue.
