Mark Skylar-Scott (@mascott85) discusses his team’s innovative technique for the 3D printing of living heart tissue. The goal is to one day have the ability to print crucial pieces of the heart, like valves and ventricles, which can actually grow with a patient.
Scientists at Stanford University have developed a method for 3D-printing human heart tissue that could eventually be implanted into patients.
