• Resumen

  • The article discusses research in regenerative medicine, with a focus on the use of three-dimensional (3-D) printing to create organs for transplants. Topics include the importance of creating blood vessels within the organ so that oxygen can reach the inner cells, a method developed by scientist Jordan Miller of generating organs by constructing tissue around a sugar mold of the vessels, and the process by which the living cells remodel the printed blood vessels.
