Living kidneys printed out in China


Scientists at a Chinese university in eastern Zhejiang Province have made an incredible medical leap by producing a 3D printed kidney that they say can function as a human organ. This advanced development in technology comes two years after Anthony Atala printed a human kidney live at a TED event two years ago. And now researchers are progressing in their effort to produce a viable organ that will be suitable for transplant.

    Hi,

    Healthline.com recently launched a free interactive "Human Body Maps" tool. I thought your readers would be interested in our body map of the kidney: http://www.healthline.com/human-body-maps/kidney

    It would be much appreciated if you could include this tool on http://tariqfaizee.blogspot.com/2013/09/living-kidneys-printed-out-in-china.html and / or share with friends and followers. Please let me know if you have any questions.


    Thank you in advance.
    Warm Regards,
