Innovations in bioprinting just keep evolving. As researchers are making huge strides in creating cellular structures in their labs—a feat in itself—now they have to find better ways to keep them alive in order to meet the ultimate goal, which is creating and sustaining viable organs for transplants. One extremely resourceful researcher at Vanderbilt University has come up with a way to create capillaries, or microchannels that can actually survive, through spinning their threads in a cotton-candy machine—just like spun sugar. The next goal is to see if they can match specific tissues with the vasculatures. Read more at 3DPrint.com: http://3dprint.com/119230/capillaries-cotton-candy/
