Researchers in China are reportedly using a special 3D printer to print an ear cartilage sample made from real tissue.
Researchers at Hangzhou Dianzi University invented a 3D tissue printer named Regenovo, according to 3D Printer World. As explained in the video above, the printer can produce an ear cartilage sample (four to five inches in length) or a liver sample in less than an hour.
About 90% of these printed cells have survived and stayed alive for as long as four months.
