Brittany’s Answer

There are quite a bit of leaps in development and use of human tissue and complex organs over the past few years. In fact, I believe that an institute recently created the most equivalent human body lab tissue to test with pharmaceuticals, pathogens, etc. to measure actual effect to the human body - which generates more accurate results, allows for long term studies, and reduces need for animal testing. 3-D printing and lab grown tissue/organs are also being studied for use in organs impacted by drug interactions, allergies, burns, and anything that causes tissue damage requiring regeneration. There are also a number of articles out there regarding research and testing for dementia related diseases with artificial tissue. ScienceDaily and ScienceAlerts provide some quick reads on the topic. Hope that helps!

Hi Maurice,

Yes, there are several atricles about 3-D Bioprinting. It can change how neural tissue are engineered, moving it from a time consuming, hands-on process that can vary from lab-to-lab to a sterile, high-throughput process that can rapidly produce physiologically accurate brain constructs for applications in cell therapy and drug screening.
