A Chinese
biotechnological company announced on Sunday it has developed the world's first
3D blood vessel bio-printer, which makes it possible to produce personalized
functional organs.
Using two nozzles
operating alternately, the printer can complete a 10-centimeter blood vessel
within minutes. The device uses a self-developed stem cell bio-ink technology
and operators can remotely control the production by taking advantage of a
cloud-computing platform, the company said.
