a printer can be built yourself (which, according to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, is a
$500 one), it still has to meet a number of requirements and standards, since
living cells are needed to print an organ, which must be kept in suitable conditions
, which is not easy to achieve.
Moreover, everything that is implanted in the taiwan phone code human body must be manufactured in certified facilities,
devices that meet medical standards. Therefore, even if we build the bioprinter ourselves
, it will not be certified and therefore bioprinting at home will not be possible.
The material produced must be biocompatible, otherwise it can cause undesirable effects on the human
body, and regulation is also another obstacle.
Brain bioprinting
Researchers from the University of Montreal, the Federal University of Santa Catarina and Concordia University
have announced that they have succeeded in printing living mouse brain cells using bioprinting technology.
The vast majority of neurons were still alive two days after printing.
Numerous studies have been conducted to determine the cells' capacity, which may significantly help
in the development of this market.
However, despite numerous advances in this field, cell substitutes and fully printing
a functioning brain remain a matter of the future. We need numerous studies, tests, time
and financial support before bioprinting can be commercialized.
