...Lab-grown livers have come a step closer to reality thanks to a 3D printer loaded with cells . Created by Organovo in San Diego, California, future versions of the system could produce chunks of liver for transplant. The mini-livers that Organovo made are just half a millimetre deep and 4 millimetres across but can perform most functions of the real thing. To create them, a printer builds up about 20 layers of hepatocytes and stellate cells – two major types of liver cell. Crucially, it also adds cells from the lining of blood vessels. These form a delicate mesh of channels that supply the liver cells with nutrients and oxygen, allowing the tissue to live for five days or longer. The cells come from spare tissue removed in operations and biopsies. Existing liver assays, based on single or double layers of cells, only last two days and don't have the same range of functions as the micro-discs. The realistic structure and functioning of the mini-livers make them good predictors of the toxicity of drugs and other substances. They produce albumin, the liver protein that bulks up blood and ferries hormones, salts and drugs throughout the body. They also make cholesterol, which carries fat in the bloodstream, and produce major detoxification enzymes, called cytochrome P450s, that metabolise drugs in the liver. Organovo's ultimate goal is to create human-sized structures suitable for transplant; the big hurdle is being able to print larger branched networks of blood vessels to nourish such an organ. The company unveiled the mini-livers at the annual Experimental Biology conference this week in Boston.

Anyone not investing in 3-D printers now is going to miss out on huge opportunities ! 3-D ( DDD) has split and been on fire with huge sales growth and they have not began to scratch the surface. I see a day in the near future when almost every household has a 3-D printer in their home & office.

3D Printing: The Next Technology Gold Rush – Future Factories and How to Capitalize on Distributed Manufacturing August 21, 2013
Author: Christopher D. Winnan
Publisher: Amazon Digital Services, Inc. (1/14/2013)
This book concentrates on three main areas. 1. Easy to read, yet detailed explanations of all the 3D printing related technologies currently available 2. Practical advice on how this technology can be leveraged as a successful business in today’s economy. 3. The wider long-term repercussions, including real world examples of how 3D printing is set … more…
Far from being a dry technical manual, this book addresses three key issues that are important to anybody interested in this rapidly evolving field. What are 3D printers all about? How can they be used to make money? What does the immediate future hold for this amazing technology? Humorous, insightful and inspiring in equal measure, and yet priced at a small fraction of its competitors.

The world’s first low-cost atomic force microscope (AFM) has been developed in Beijing by a group of PhD students from University College London (UCL), Tsinghua University, and Peking University — using LEGO.
The design brief for the student teams: build a functional nanoscope, using only LEGO, Arduino microcontrollers, 3D-printed parts, and consumer electronics.

I'm not sure why DDD keeps climbing in value - It is a stock out of control and it scares me.

Hey Unc - and now the stock sits at $96 - This is a long term play for me so as long as the company keeps doing great its going to be a winner. 3-D printing is the future. I see the day when most will have one in their home and office.

..... www.marketwatch.com/story/company-making-meat-printer-gets-asian-cash-2014-06-25 HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — A U.S. start-up is planning to make a 3D printer that can create leather and meat — yes, meat — with the company even attracting an investment from Asia’s richest man. Modern Meadow, based in Brooklyn, N.Y., describes itself as a bio-tech company that develops artificial leather and meat products in the lab with advanced stem-cell technology, doing away with the need to harm or kill animals. The company said it grows tissues and organ structures with bioprinting, “the 3D assembly of tissues driven by computer-controlled processes.”

3D stocks were going up nicely today. DDD was on the move again. Are the 3D stocks becoming overvalued at this time??

Mr. V, believe you are correct there. Large, smart, corporations do not let opportunity escape. 3D seems to have a bright future.

I personally don't believe 3D printing will take off until a couple years pass and the big businesses get involved (heavily).

An extracellular matrix made of collagen and fibrin proteins placed over the scaffold provided structure for the embryonic muscle cells, which self-assembled into a muscle strip over a period of a week to create a bio-bot. www.materials360online.com/newsDetails/50017
