Israel have printed the world’s first 3D vascularised engineered heart using a patient’s own cells and biological materials.

• The 3D Heart was made from human cells and patient-specific biological materials.
• During the process, the patient-specific biological materials served as the bio-inks (substances made of sugars and proteins that can be used for 3D printing of complex tissue models).
• This successful demonstration underlines the potential for engineering personalized tissue and organ replacement in the future.
