Human heart parts, created by 3D bio-printing, claim- will soon be able to work fully
American scientists have succeeded in creating different parts of the human heart from living cells and proteins through 3-D bio-printers and their new technology. Excited scientists claim that in the near future, the entire human heart will be formed. This claim has been made in the paper published in the American Science journal of Carnegie Mellon University.
The paper's co-author Adam Feinberg said that we created a heart valve through a 3-D print from collagen that works. Collagen protein is the element found in almost every part of the body and in the structure of the cell.
Along with the heart, all organs of the human body are made up of certain cells. Bind them to a biological frame of proteins, which is called Extro Salular Matrix (ECM). These include collagen mainly. ECM only gives such biochemical messages to the cells, from which cells make different organs their fixed work.
Complex problem
It was not possible to make complex structures like ECM with collagen by 3D printing. Actually, collagen is a liquid. Making MRI of the heart through liver cells and collagen is a lizolina organ which is not useful. In this paper, new technology 'Freeform Reversible Embeding of Suspended Hydrogles' (Fresh) was kept.
In this, collagen is placed in the layer rate layer at the time of 3D printing. The surface of the gel is applied between each layer. The gel flows out of the structure by melting the temperature of the normal atmosphere. Collagen takes the form of concrete heart without any damage.
Many other elements can also be molded in 3D print using this technique. Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University. According to Adam Feinberg some more studies on fresh techniques are to be done. This technique can be used to heal the wounds and make the organs that have become useless.
According to the report, there are around 10 million heart transplants in the world every year. Most of the numbers do not even figure in the transplant waiting list made in their country. The waiting list in America is of four thousand patients. According to the National Organ Transplant Program in India, about 50 thousand patients need a heart transplant, but only 10 to 15 transplants are being done in a year. In such a situation, artificial limbs can improve the condition.
