The first printed organs to be implanted in humans were bone, cartilage, and skin implants. They will be implanted in humans by 2030, says Fyodor Senov, director of the NUST MISIS Center for Biomedical Engineering Research and Education.
“We will gradually move from printing organ samples to the clinic, so we will already use them in medicine. As I said, we believe that the first thing that can be done for a person is cartilage (for example, an auricle) and skin pressure. We set the horizon for ourselves somewhere around 2025-2027, ”explained the interlocutor of socialbites.ca.
According to him, now bioprinting is actively used in veterinary medicine. For example, four years ago NUST MISIS created a cell engineered paw for the Lapuni cat, and for the past two years they have been producing respiratory stents for dogs with laryngeal collapse.
