Researchers 3D Print Thyroid Gland

In 2015, a group of scientists at Russian company 3D Bioprinting Solutions made history when they successfully 3D printed and transplanted a thyroid gland into a mouse. We've now received an update on the scientists' research, which has been published in a paper entitled "Bioprinting of functional vascularized mouse thyroid gland construct." Using a scaffold-free 3D printing technique and a specially designed 3D printer, a thyroid gland was printed, transplanted, and successfully began functioning within its host. The next step, say the researchers, is a human thyroid. Read more at 3DPrint.com: http://3dprint.com/181528/3d-bioprin...tions-thyroid/
