BIO 105: Build-A-Body - 3D Bioprinting

More than 100,000 people in the U.S. sit on an organ donor list awaiting life-saving transplants, with thousands dying each year before being able to receive a donor organ. These numbers grow massively when we consider the number of organs needed worldwide. With such a unique resource and limited supply, how would being able to create organs impact this medical crisis, numerous other health issues, and the societal view of health, ownership, and medical inequities? In this episode of B.S., we discuss the current developments in 3D bioprinting and its contribution to large treatment advancements in the medical field.
