In the market for a new ear? You're in luck.
Researchers in China are reportedly using a special 3D printer to print an ear cartilage sample made from real tissue.

About 90% of these printed cells have survived and stayed alive for as long as four months.
While specific details about the process remain known, the Chinese researchers told 3D Printer World that fully-functioning printed organs could be a reality in the next decade or two. Read more...
