Scientists from the Lawrence Livermore national laboratory in the USA was able to print on a 3D printer live the circulatory system. They can be used to create artificial tissue, is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. However, this is a fairly remote scenario, as the vessels now resemble a plate of spaghetti.

Biologists intend to develop technology which will allow to put in order the obtained vessels and organize them like how they are placed in the actual living tissues of the body. And then will open the way for the creation of artificial tissues that can grow, for planting.

it is Noted that the so-called printing imply high accuracy, however, scientists will attempt to increase it. Currently the technique is in its infancy, but opens up new opportunities in research. "Print organs for implantation is a matter of the distant future, but printed us the biomaterial may be used for research," said the representatives of the research group.
