  • Essay / 3D Printing of human organs for transplantation - 859

    Anthony Atala delivers an inspiring lecture on the reproduction of cells and organs. This talk talks about the current state of cellular reproduction and where it is headed with the help of 3D printers. This also shows us the need for this technology, as organ donors currently do not match the number of recipients needing a transplant. Atala's talk on 3D printed organs was easily understandable for an average person, and her visuals were captivating and the success story of a person receiving a 3D printed bladder was inspiring. It clearly describes how they use biomaterials with cells and how they work, and shows the future of this technology and how it works. Anthony talks about how they use biomaterials and what they do to make cells inhabit them. These biomaterials must be able to work with your body and help regenerate cells. Anthony points out that they used biomaterials to replace and repair a patient's structure. They achieved this because the biomaterials acted as a bridge on which cells could come together to reclaim a specific area. Negative results from these materials imply potential batch-to-batch variability, depending on the source, as well as the need to ensure the purity of the protein before placing it in the patient to avoid triggering an immune response . These scaffolds often have a limited range of properties and sometimes need to be optimized for stem cell culture. Although the use of biomaterials is an excellent substance for generating cells, the use of these materials has drawbacks and requires special care to be implemented successfully. As Anthony talked about biomaterials, he gave some details on how these structures work, but he was missing a more visual demonstration or demonstration...in the middle of the document...onelle. This helped him live a normal life. He started talking about the future of these machines and what they thought was possible and what is already becoming reality. The ability to print solid organs will soon be available and they are already investigating ways to improve it. This conference gave me a new perspective on technology and what is achievable. It was clearly delivered in easy-to-understand language, and his use of real-life examples of an actual kidney on stage was breathtaking. After hearing what he had to say, I see that this technology will be greatly improved in the future, but how do I know if this technology is feasible. This speech managed to explain its topic clearly and gave good examples to really give the reader a great understanding of the topic. In addition to a success story, this added evidence to support what Anthony is talking about..
