20 Amazing Futuristic Technologies that will give you glimpse of our Lives In Next 30 Years
17. 3D printing organs for transplant surgeries
Scientists are working on finding the right way to 3D print viable organs that can be used as donor organs during surgeries.
The organ 3D printing technology has already seen major developments. It uses cartridges filled with a suspension of living cells and a smart gel that provides structure. The living cell suspension and the gel are used alternatively to create a biological tissue. When the printing is done the gel is cooled and washed off leaving just the cells. The researchers are working on solving the complexities involved in creating an organ that can successfully mimic the actions of a normally grown organ within the human body. Once that impediment is overcome, we might not have to worry about waiting for donors.
