For people who do not know what is a bio printer, it is "prints" human cells in a three dimensional matrix to be assembled into complex organs or blood vessels.
Currently, the company states that the bio printer that they had invented is currently only able to produce all types of blood vessels as our technology is not as advanced to be able to real complex organs like stomachs and livers. However, a partner company, Invetech that helped the company, Oganovo to produce the bio printer believes that they will be able to upgrade the bio printer to be able to produce actual organs.
I think this is a fantastic invention because the organs that are produced can be used to save people that are in of an organ transplant but there are no more organs to be had. With this kind of technology that is able to produce organs for people, we will be able to save many more people in hospitals with organ failures and other things.
