I guess the way this works is that they have a lot of mouse liver material with which to print a human liver facsimile. Sounds strange to me and would never think something like this would work. Truly amazing at any rate.

The only drawback to your new mouse liver? The constant craving for CHEESE!

That 3D stuff is remarkable, fascinating and scary as hell all rolled into one.

In the future they’ll be able to replace just about any organ and be into gene therapy and all that to cure diseases, it all depends upon this coming POTUS election and I am not kidding. If Hillary wins there won’t be a future. Iran will obtain nuclear weapons and will use them and that will be that. Apparently liberals like John Kerry thinks my air conditioner and refrigerator are going to destroy the world but it’s very healthy to open the path for Islamo-Nazi psychopaths to obtain nuclear weapons.

I actually have a short story I have written a piece of science fictions with the subject mater about 3-D printing and artificial livers. the piece is about three marines in the future on a spaceship that break in to a medical lab to use the equipment to make a liver to eat. there is a lot of neo-cannibalism jokes in the piece. the piece deals with the captains-mast after they are caught.

Article from two years ago, about 3D printed wind-pipes. I know someone (a baby) currently being treated with this technology. Prayers for "Gabriel" and his doctors would be appreciated.

I hope this is perfected before my parents will start to need it.

Sick of seeing people get taken down due to organ failure.

Well, as one who has had a kidney/liver transplant, this is most interesting information. Caught acute Hep C during dialysis, and it wrecked the liver. I got lucky and my Los Angeles docs sent me to Jacksonville, FL, got the transplant within 6 weeks of getting on the list there. Would not have survived the wait in CA. A 3D printer would have been quite handy, but not so sure about mouse cells!
