Researchers are creating a new machine, which can weave organs of human body with fragments of tissues.

Researchers at a US-based regenerative medicine firm have already formulated a prototype machine that is able to grow arteries. They claim the doctors could one day be able to "print" new organs for transplant.

They added that the novel technique, based on 3D laser printing technology, could be used to generate body parts.

In place of blending layers of plastic and metal, the "bioprinter" places living tissue together.

Two laser-based printing heads are used to place living cells onto thin sheets of gel with microscopic precision. Multiple layers are then laid on top of each other in a specially designed mould, or "scaffold" and the cells begin to fuse together.

Keith Murphy, chief executive of the California-based company Organovo, stated, "Ultimately the idea would be for surgeons to have tissue on demand for various uses,".

"The best way to do that is get a number of bioprinters into the hands of researchers and give them the ability to make three dimensional tissues on demand," Murphy added. (With Inputs from Agencies)
