3D Organ Printing 

Basic idea behind 3D organ production:

(1) Print an organ scaffold using a 3D organ printer.

(2) Distribute stem cells (cells that can form into a number of different types of cells in the body) that have been induced to become the types of cells in the organ of interest throughout the organ scaffold. For example, stem cells would be induced to become heart cells when printing a heart.  

(3) Introduce various proteins and other inducers to help the forming organ take shape. For example, an inducer may be introduced to help cells form organ tissues.

(4) Allow time to pass and theoretically the initial scaffold should turn into the desired organ.

Many complications can arise during the organ formation process. For example, the stem cells may not become the desired organ cells or come together to form organ tissues. Even if an organ is successfully produced, it can be rejected by the recipient’s body.
