Now the kidney will be printed

The Dhaka Times Desk Organ transplants are an important part of medical treatment worldwide. In many cases, when treatment fails, this transplant is seen as the last hope for the patient. It is possible to bring cells from other parts of the body to the dead organ and artificially nourish the organ. Researchers are now trying this way to create real three-dimensional kidneys that can be transplanted.

Just a few weeks ago, scientists showed a major breakthrough. They have managed to create artificial kidneys in the laboratory. These kidneys are transplanted into animals and tested to see what the reaction is in living animals. The test results are promising. The transplanted kidney works quite well. The animal in which the kidney was implanted continued to grow normally and matched the body's cells quite well. Scientists hope that soon, similarly constructed organs can be transplanted into the human body. Which will solve many problems.

Currently, thousands of people are waiting for organ transplants. For which a donor is required. Only if a donor is willing to donate an organ, the organ can be transplanted. But very few such donors will actually donate organs. And not everyone can donate an organ. Only dead people can donate their organs. Therefore, if it is possible to prepare artificial organs, it is believed to benefit thousands of people.

Scientists are trying to develop a 3D printer that can actually print kidneys. The idea of printing the kidney comes from the cells of the kidney, layer by layer, and then connecting them. This artificial kidney will be made by growing cells in the mold of the kidney. As the kidney cells grow, they will take the shape of the kidney and will be able to perform the functions of the kidney. Research into this organic artificial kidney is in its infancy.
