#says a Harvard bioengineer named David Edwards . And so he has devised a way to convert foods into shell-like containers and films that he calls Wikicells.
The report predicted that this fascinating result will be used by bioengineers to improve engineering design. Well perhaps it will
says Heiner Niemann, a bioengineer at the Institute of Farm animal Genetics in Neustadt, Germany. The excitement surrounding these technological advances is bittersweet, however.
In labs around the world bioengineers have begun to print prototype body parts: heart valves ears artificial bone joints menisci vascular tubes and skin grafts.
In 2000 bioengineer Thomas Boland the self-described grandfather of bioprinting eyed an old Lexmark printer in his lab at Clemson University.
Suddenly bioengineers went from drawing life on a flat canvas to building living sculptures. It was like magic says James Yoo a researcher at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine who is developing a portable printer to graft skin directly onto burn victims.
Suddenly bioengineers went from drawing life on a flat canvas to building living sculptures. A printer that can dispense the right ink in other words is only the first step.
In a similar manner bioengineers might one day incorporate sensors into other tissues for example creating a bionic meniscus that can monitor strain.
