There are currently hundreds of thousands of people on transplant lists, waiting for critical organs like kidneys, hearts and livers that could save their lives. Unfortunately, there aren't enough donor organs available to fill that demand. What if, instead of waiting, we could create new, customized organs from scratch? Taneka Jones explores bioprinting, a new branch of regenerative medicine. [Directed by Hype CG, narrated by Addison Anderson].

How to 3D print human tissue

Bioprinted tissues, like meniscus for knees, are transforming regenerative medicine, offering hope for millions awaiting transplants.

Challenges in bioprinting complex organs include replicating their biochemical environment and ensuring cell viability post-printing.

Incorporating blood vessels into bioprinted tissue is a major focus, aiming to revolutionize organ transplants and extend human life.
