Printing Muscle
Organovo’s 3-D printer creates human tissues that could help speed drug discovery.
So far, Organovo has made only small pieces of tissue, but its  ultimate  goal is to use its 3-D printer to make complete organs for   transplants. Because the organs would be printed from a patient’s own   cells, there would be less danger of rejection.
