2. Building Human Organs
Oganovo is a company based in San Diego, California.
Their latest science invention is a technology (novogen) which
allows living tissue cells to be assembled into patterns and complex
structures, such as organs.
Organovo has partnered with Invetech. a company based in
Australia, to develop a bio-printer.
The device prints (places) human cells in a three-dimensional
matrix to construct human tissue.
"Building human organs cell-by-cell was considered science
fiction not that long ago," says Fred Davis of Invetech.
Currently, the bio-printer can grow blood vessels. It is
anticipated that within five years the device will construct arteries and
by 2020 sophisticated organs will be built by the device.
