A Giant Step For Artificial Organs: Blood Vessels Synthesized By 3D Printing
Since its invention, 3D printing continues to push the boundaries of technology. Moreover, researchers have managed the feat of creating fully functional synthetic blood vessels. We explain to you this significant scientific achievement. Until now, the major problem encountered during 3D printing of human organs was the creation of functional vessels and ventricles. So if it was…
