Fractals support growing organs A method for making intricate networks of artificial blood vessels brings the decades-old dream of growing replacement organs a big step closer. The networks are designed to provide the support structure needed for organ cells to coalesce into something greater than the sum of its parts.   |

3D printed sugar network to feed engineered organs US researchers can build vessels into a cell-containing gel -- the beginnings of a thick tissue. Scientists form the gel around a lattice of printed sugar fibers. The fibers dissolve after the gel sets, leaving a network of channels that carry nutrients like blood vessels. |
