Twenty people die every day waiting for an organ transplant in the United States, and while more than 30,000 transplants are now performed annually, there are over 113,000 patients currently on organ waitlists. Artificially grown human organs are seen by many as the “holy grail” for resolving this organ shortage, and advances in 3-D printing have led to a boom in using that technique to build living tissue constructs in the shape of human organs. However, all 3-D-printed human tissues to date lack the cellular density and organ-level functions required for them to be used in organ repair and replacement.
