Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are the first to develop the 3D-printed brain tissue, which grows and behaves like a natural brain tissue. The group used a new 3D-printing method, stacking layers of tissue horizontally rather than vertically and using a softer bio-ink (see 101). The model will allow scientists to better study neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

I have mixes emotions about this. On one hand we want to see diseases cured, on the other hand where can this technology go, and can it pose a risk to humans?

My thoughts also. I want to see how well this 3D printing works on other human organs. I don't necessarily mean the major ones, but rather the really small parts; like the "hairs" in the inner part of one's ears.

Amazing the leaps they are making in this area. Soon they may be able to repair cancer damaged cells to save someone's life.
