Today, if you ever needed a new lung, heart, liver, or any other organ, you would have to wait... a long time. Fortunately, a new process in the field of tissue engineering called Bioprinting aims to solve this problem. Bioprinting is exactly what it sounds like: printing biological materials from a printer. Of course, the actual process is much more complicated than simply pressing print on a computer and waiting for an organ to come out like a piece of paper. It starts with a modified inkjet printer and ink made from stem cells and many other different types of cells. Not only does it use stem cell ink, but it uses a specially prepared organic paper to print the cells onto. Bioprinting as used in medicine has the potential to completely eliminate waiting lists, personalize each individual treatment and eliminate the consequences of receiving an organ transplant by avoiding the need for a donor. Because there is a lot of investment in stem cells and it is a relatively new process, bioprinting has its problems, but these complications should not impede its progress in the future. Bioprinting has many potentials in the field of biology and medicine, such as providing a safer alternative to current donation-based organ transplants, helping breast cancer survivors with post-lumpectomy (breast reconstruction) procedures. Patience, for many of us, is not a strength. Especially in today's world, where we are constantly receiving information and switching from one task to another. There are those of us who can't stand waiting for something like a train or a bus, but there are those of us who don't have the luxury of waiting for a train or a bus. These individuals are waiting for their lives. They're waiting for organs... middle of paper... Cancers and why there's no cure." LiveScience. Np, nd Web. May 22, 2014. .Griggs, Brandon.
