In Israel, for the first time in the world, a human heart was printed on a 3D printer
The manufacture of human organs is a long-standing dream of medical scientists from around the world. Someday in the future, experts believe that there will be no need for donation, and artificially created kidneys, lungs, and liver will be transplanted to people.
Not so long ago in Russia have created mechanical heart and presented it, as they say, "in the gland" - in the literal and figurative sense. However, the metal can be rejected by the human body, which makes us look for other ways to solve the problem. They should involve the use of human tissues.
It is such a heart, that is, created from natural biological tissues, first introduced by scientists from Tel Aviv University. It was printed using 3D of technologies. An organ consists of muscles, connective tissue and all necessary vessels. As a "building material" when creating the heart, the so-called "personalized hydrogel" was used. It was based on human fat and muscle tissue.
Of course, it is still too early to talk about a fully functional organ that can already be transplanted to a person. On average, this body makes about 36,5 million reductions per year, which means its reliability and “wear resistance” must meet the highest requirements. Israeli artificial hearts await years of laboratory testing and testing.
