Medical researchers are growing spare parts from stem cells inside the human body.Another practice, called bioprinting, builds body parts much like an inkjet printer:
The programmable printer has laser-guided printing nozzles that can extrude inks composed of different cell mixtures. In each drop of ink is a solution that contains about 10,000 to 30,000 cells. The bio-ink is a mix usually cultured from stem cells taken from a donor’s bone marrow or fat. Those cells can then be grown into the many different cell types necessary for tissues.
Emerging therapies require careful legal attention, including intellectual property protection, and legal analysis of FDA medical device and other issues.
