Silvia Di Angelantonio, affiliate researcher at the IIT center in Rome - Center for Life Nano Science and Professor in Physiology in La Sapienza, tells us about a still little-known use of 3D printers in the world of research.
Notes, especially in this period, to print plastic objects, 3D printers can also print mini organs and mini tissues made up of cells. If we use cells derived from a patient as bricks, it will be possible to reproduce miniaturized copies of his organs in the laboratory on which to study diseases and test drugs.
