The next organ will be the kidney. The Moscow-based laboratory, 3D Bioprinting Solutions, announced on Dec. 17 that it has completed a unique experiment to 3D print a mouse's thyroid organ construct. The 3D printed thyroid gland was not rejected by the mouse's body, and is functioning. The company will soon print human organs first a thyroid gland, and then a kidney. Exact dates have not been disclosed. The laboratorys plans include the publication of an article on the results of the experiment in major scientific journals, and the transition to the next stage of work the bioprinting of a human thyroid, said Vladimir Mironov, chief scientific officer at 3D Bioprinting Solutions. Once this is done, we plan to focus our efforts on developing the bioprinting technology for a kidney. There is much concern today over the lack of human kidneys for transplantation. Earlier this year, on March 15, 3D Bioprinting Solutions printed a mouses thyroid organ construct on Russias first bioprinter, FABION. During the experiment, which lasted several months, the printed constructs were accepted and proved their viability. That experiments results were first presented to the international scientific community on Nov. 8 at the International Conference on Biofabrication in Utrecht, Netherlands.
