#3d printing may finally give artificial organs a blood supply Vascularized tissue constructed by printing cell-laden inks in a layered zigzag pattern.
Using a custom-built four-head 3-D printer and a isappearingink, materials scientist Jennifer Lewisand her team created a patch of tissue containing skin cells and biological structural material interwoven with blood-vessel-like structures.
The tissue is built by the 3-D printer in layers. A gelatin-based ink acts as extracellular matrixhe structural mix of proteins and other biological molecules that surrounds cells in the body.
Two other inks contained the gelatin material and either mouse or human skin cells. All these inks are viscous enough to maintain their structure after being laid down by the printer.
A third ink with counterintuitive behavior helped the team create the hollow tubes. This ink has a Jell-o-like consistency at room temperature
and we think it going to be essential toward organ printing or regeneration, says Lewis, who is member of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard university.
The hope is that the 3-D printing method will set the overall architecture of blood vessels within artificial tissue

the display beams different images in different directions, so that a person's left and right eyes see slightly different images#a requirement for the brain to process an image as 3d.
Moving the display screen around also produces different images, so that it appears as if the object were being viewed from up to 64 different vantage points over a field of view spanning 90 degrees.
as in an ordinary LCD screen#the display can also produce moving images. Figuring out how to modulate the LCD screen to produce the views is orders of magnitude easier than working out the complicated interference patterns needed to make a moving hologram visible from any direction,
