Researchers from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine are saying that they’re making progress in the development of 3D bio-printers, that basically are devices that are capable of arranging cells from living creatures … like humans … into three-dimensional structures.
Basically, this a printer that can, for the want of a better way of describing it, print skin, and with this technology, they’ve been able to speed up the healing of injuries on mice completely with the outcome being a healed wound in just three weeks, where an untreated wound was not healed within the same period.
They’re going to be trying this on pigs shortly, and they’re hoping that this can be applied in locations like battlefields and war zones.
