Again! New uses for 3-D printing plus human cells: this time result is a partial human skull to be implanted
It seems that just about every week a report comes in on a new use of 3-D printing of replacement human organs, working from human cells. February 12 we had the post Creating artificial organs: New 3D printing techniques could speed progress.
Then there was Watch how a lab uses 3D printing plus living human cells to create an implantable human ear (February 22), followed by a different report on the same topic just a few days ago: More on using 3D printing plus human cells
Now this : 3D printed skull implanted in American patient's head. That's from Discover blog, and I'll leave you to the original. The implant was performed only four days ago (March 4). The firm that developed the implant promises similar replacements for other human bones.
