World's first 3D-bioprinted transplant-ready thyroid gland to be unveiled in early 2015

The first living organ, created with the use of 3D-bioprinter, will be released next year, Russian scientists announced. The experiment will start with a transplant-ready thyroid, with further work on a functional printed kidney scheduled for 2018.

The researchers from "3D Bioprinting Solutions" laboratory at the Skolkovo innovation center outside Moscow have set an exact date for the first three-dimensional organ to be bioprinted, saying the result of the "revolutionary" technology will be unveiled on March 15 next year.

The first organ to be created with a bioprinter, using stem cells as an 'ink', will be a thyroid gland. This body part has been chosen to launch the experiment for its "simplicity," according to the laboratory head of research, Vladimir Mironov. The professor hopes the thyroid will also be apparent in proving bioprinted organs compatibility with living organisms.

Snart kan vi lage levende organer med 3-D-printer

Russere vil printe skjoldbruskkjertel i år

"Mange eksperter advarer om at det vil vise seg ekstremt vanskelig å printe levedyktige erstatningsorganer, særlig når det gjelder så komplekse organer som hjernen. Dessuten er det vanskelig å printe nettverket av blodkar som behøves for å forsyne organer med oksygen og næringsstoffer.

Ikke desto mindre sier forskere ved universitetet i Pennsylvania at de har funnet en måte å trykke slike nettverk, og et russisk selskap, 3-D Bioprinting Solutions, har lovet at de i år skal printe en skjoldbruskkjertel, som er snørt sammen av blodkar. Andre forskere er i ferd med å printe vev til bukspyttkjertelen som kan hjelpe til med å kontrollere diabetes, virus som angriper kreftceller og organmodeller som kirurgene kan øve seg på eller som kan brukes til å lage medisinske apparater."
