Need an Organ, What If Doctors Could Print You One?

About 17 people pass away per day while on an organ transplant waiting list. What if doctors could just print a kidney, using cells from the patient, instead of having to find a donor match and hope the patient's body doesn't reject the transplanted kidney? It will be a reality in about 10 years thanks to 3D organ bioprinting.  Organ bioprinting is the use of 3D-printing technologies to assemble multiple cell types, growth factors and biomaterials in a layer-by-layer fashion to produce bioartificial organs that ideally imitate their natural counterparts.
