Tel Aviv, Israel - A 3D printer is in the process of printing a human heart. In a major medical breakthrough, Tel Aviv University researchers have printed the worldâ€⠢s first 3D vascularised engineered heart including cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers using a patientâ€⠢s own cells and biological materials. Until now, scientists in regenerative medicine have been successful in printing only simple tissues without blood vessels.
