Recently, some netizens have done 10 things that can be done by 3D printing technology, including human organs, pizza, chocolate, clothing, musical instruments, cars, guns, drones, adult products and 3D printers, let 3D Printing has once again become a hot topic in the market. Among them, the most interesting thing is undoubtedly the human organs. Because this makes people see the hope of immortality.
Can humans really live forever? For this question, at least in the eyes of researchers, it is not a boring problem. We learned that according to the theoretical concept of 3D bio-printing technology, one day human beings can print out intelligent human organs according to their own needs. It has exactly the same function as human natural organs, and can completely replace lesions, damage or The organ of aging. A little more optimistic, it is not a rare thing to print out a lively person.
However, modern people who are eager to realize immortality immediately may be disappointed. In the words of Kang Yujian, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine Research at West China Hospital of Sichuan University, at least in his lifetime, he could not see the arrival of this day. However, at the current level of technology, some insiders believe that 3D bioprinting has at least a market potential of not less than 10 billion, and once it breaks through its technical bottleneck, the prospect is immeasurable.
Print live people challenge the limits
Kang Yujian is one of the first national experts in the “Thousand Talents Programâ€. It is a leader in the field of 3D printing technology and is engaged in the research of 3D bio-printing technology.
It is understood that in the field of regenerative medicine, there are two areas that have not yet been broken in 3D bio-printing: one is a personalized printer, the printer that can fully meet the requirements of human organs in accuracy has not appeared; the second is biological material, that is, in the traditional sense The printer "ink" did not get rid of the technical limitations.
Kang Yujian believes that even if these two technologies have been broken, in view of the complexity of human body structure, how to make the printed living cells maintain long-lasting vitality, how to make micro-environment to make it grow for a long time is a difficult problem. The current research only stays on the printing of "mechanical organs", that is, because of the lack of biological materials, the printed organs are only a model and do not have the function of human organs.
At present, researchers can only print out organs with relatively simple structures, such as trachea and blood vessels, which cannot be realized for the role of alternative organ transplantation for external heat stimulation. Not long ago, some scientists in the United States printed a complete human kidney, but did not have any function of the human kidney and could not be used.
The research team led by Kang Yujian is conducting bioprinting research on heart and blood vessels. If successful, at least it can imitate some functions of the heart to achieve the purpose of healing and saving people. He formed a joint research and development team involved in various fields such as medical materials, information engineering, and machinery manufacturing. For these researchers who are engaged in research and development in the first line, Kang Yujian's ideas are novel, creative and attractive, but the task is very difficult to achieve.
In the early days, when Kang Yujian did research in the United States, he created a mechanical heart that could simulate the function of the heart under the control of a power source. He successfully transferred the artificial heart into the patient and extended the patient's life by 18 months.
