Sergey Kulemzin, the head of the Biosensor Technologies Laboratory at NSU’s Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies, informed TASS that the official registration of artificially grown organs in Russia could occur within the next decade or so. Advances in cell engineering and biological 3D printing suggest that the creation of simpler cellular constructs is achievable in the near future.
What might arrive first:
Artificial skin is the most probable contender, given its structure involves merely several layers of cells.
Liver tissues: Scientists are already fabricating these utilizing 3D printing methods.
More complex organs:
The heart will necessitate further maturation of the underlying technologies before it becomes viable.
Kidneys are among the most challenging organs to replicate due to their intricate three-dimensional architecture. A critical hurdle remains the successful establishment of the correct cellular topology so that these organs can operate without lengthy transgene conversion processes.
