Israeli scientists create first living heart 'printed' from human tissue

Tel Aviv University -- scientists have created a tiny, live heart in a 3D printing process that uses the tissue from a patient.

“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart replete with cells, blood vessels, ventricles, and chambers,” Prof. Tal Dvir of TAU’s School of Molecular Cell Biology and Biotechnology, who led the research for the study, told the media.

This amazing medical development prompted Israel’s Foreign Ministry to cite the work as yet another exceptional example of Israeli innovation. “This is a major breakthrough and great news for world medicine,” said ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon on Twitter.

It's truly incredible how such a tiny nation, a country with the highest number of PhDs per capita, has created so much good in the world and how much it is despised by the Islamic countries that surround it and others throughout the world.
