Making Organs transparent

[skb]

For the first time, researchers managed to make intact human organs transparent. Using microscopic imaging they could revealed underlying complex structures of the see-through organs at the cellular level. Resulting organ maps can serve as templates for 3D-bioprinting technologies. In the future, this could lead to the creation of on demand artificial organs for many patients in need.

Pretty amazing stuff.  I am still amazed that I have a heart valve that is man made, flesh from a pig's heart is used but it is still man made.  Not near as complicated as an actual organ like a kidney or pancreas but a step down the road.  Eventually I believe this research will bear fruit.
