3D printed heart valves...wonder how they're coming..

Scientists are working on developing 3D-printed heart valves which allow the patient to form new tissue from their own cells, as with the ear transplant. "Our goal is to engineer bioinspired heart valves that support the formation of new functional tissue in patients," says Dr. Petra Mela, Professor of Medical Materials and Implants at the Technical University of Munich. "Children would especially benefit from such a solution, as current heart valves do not grow with the patient and therefore have to be replaced over the years in multiple surgeries. Our heart valves, in contrast, mimic the complexity of native heart valves and are designed to let a patient's own cells infiltrate the scaffold."
