But with this Israeli company's new 3D-printed heart invention, the wait could be over. Our Alec Pollard has the story. Story: Israeli scientists on Monday unveiled what they said was the first-ever 3D printed heart made of real human tissues and vessels, calling it a first and a 'major medical breakthrough' that advances possibilities for transplants. The heart, about the size of a rabbit's, marked 'the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart replete with cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers,' said Tal Dvir, who led the project. 'People have managed to 3D-print the structure of a heart in the past, but not with cells or with blood vessels,' he said. The whole, living, pulsating 3D-printed heart "paves the way to the medicine of the future, in which patients will no longer have to wait for transplants or take medications to prevent their rejection" a press announcement said of the groundbreaking scientific feat. 'Instead, the needed organs will be printed, fully personalized for every patient,' it continued. But the scientists said many challenges remain before fully working 3D printed hearts will be available for transplant into patients. Researchers must now teach the printed hearts 'to behave' like real ones. Then they plan to transplant them into animal models, said Dvir. 'Maybe, in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world, and these procedures will be conducted routinely,' he said. But he said hospitals would likely start with simpler organs than hearts. The results of the study were presented by Dvir and his team in Tel Aviv on Monday, and published in the Advanced Science medical journal.
