Researchers in Swansea hope to be among the first in the world to start using the process of cartilage growing on humans within three years. The process involves growing someone's cells in an incubator and then mixing them with a liquid which is 3D printed into the jelly-like shape needed. 3-D bio printing would help patients needing surgery to reconstruct body parts such as noses and ears. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-35140916
Interesting medical development. I wonder what, if any, possibilities exist for dentistry - for example, gum reconstruction. It seems that would initially be a lot easier than noses and ears.
