Inkjet Printer Prints out Human Skin

Anonymous Award writes “Scientists at the University of Manchester in the UK have developed a type of inkjet printer that can print human cells. The scientists claim that it will be possible to print ‘made-to-measure’ tissue and bones to be grown simply by inputting their dimensions into a computer. But that’s not all, the printer’s creator claims that the potential of his team’s discovery is enormous: ‘You could print the scaffolding to create an organ in a day,’ well, one day maybe. Where could this technology lead in a 100 years I wonder? Could it lead to a fax machine for complete living organisms?”
