3D Biopinting: A Critical Analysis
Bioprinting has made giant strides over the past few years but many stumbling blocks remain. A recent essay, titled ‘The Billion Cell Construct: Will Three-Dimensional Printing Get Us There?‘, by Jordan S. Miller discusses a variety of issues surrounding this topic. Dr. Miller, a professor in the Department of Bioengineering at Rice University provides critical insight into the advancements made to date. The primary thesis that Miller puts forth is that while we are making progress in duplicating a single cell or two, of a particular organ, it’s much more complex to do an entire organ.
