to june, more thoughts now when the story inform, migrate, reliable news from migraines? wherever they may be the right now hundreds of thousands of people around the world, a waiting for organ transplants like 4 year old, a v. green, who's been waiting for a new hoc for a year, will smart technology revolutionize organ transplants. and all 3 d printed organs anywhere close to becoming the norm. find out on shift a hot made from human cells using ice 3 d printer scientists, intel of they've already made this breakthrough back in 2019. the printed hot couldn't be yet, but it was assigned the researches were on the right path. the key here is printing using living cells, circled by printing id printing. well, the other 3 d printing, also known as additive manufacturing, laughter has been in use an industry for
9:31 am
a number of years up yet. that basically means building complex objects layer by layer hiding young and a few years ago. and this trend also made its way into the field of biomedicine with us in all we've been naked up in the enables those to print the layers of living materials. and that's my logical material, teeth which are very complex material properties, these things all fixed lives and for the world all phone cutting, the ones that we now have new possibilities in bio medicine. complaint can hopefully print complex oregon structures in the future. using 3 d bio printing of the key to all the bio printing that's for the bar printing had sustained. so science is can actually print organs using living cells. that's pretty incredible. in 2022, the 1st 3 d printed it was transplanted into a volunteer in the united states. but that was the last we heard. we reached out to the company 3 day by a therapeutics several times for an update on the current clinical trial. without
9:32 am
any luck, but this much is clear. the race to manufacturer functioning organs using 3 d printers has been going on for years. first attempts to fly printing artificial organs were made over 2 decades ago. one of the trail blazes is us surgeon, dr. anthony atalla. in 2011 a 3 day printed a kidney. thus the organ is measured using m r. i scanned the daughters then use to create a 3 day model which has been sent to the printer. the printer manufacturer is the model layout by layout, from living cells, all as shown here from plus a race such as noting am trent university develop basically using a 3 d printer in 2021. it looks deceptively real, but it's actually made of synthetic materials. it's supposed to help train doctors to recognize live a cancer. in 2020 to 3 day systems and united therapeutics presented
9:33 am
a 3 day printed long structure. this synthetic creation should help regulate gas exchange the way healthy lungs do. animal testing, shoot off an insight into how it functions it will probably still take some time before 3 day printed organs will actually be able to replace traditional organ donations. but this technology is already proving to be very useful in medical research today. like this 3 d printed book bought a copy made from synthetic material. race such as at the massachusetts institute of technology in the united states have developed or wrote bought a car using a 3 d printer. the replica is supposed to emulate the functions of a patient's individual heart researches 1st create a 3 dimensional computer model using data from the patients hot. it's made up of the soft, flexible synthetic materials. the artificial heart is wrapped in slaves that mimic a hot date. h one is controlled separately to ensure that it pumps realistically,
9:34 am
this way the rug bought a car can mirror a hot date of the patient. researches one to hone in on how the patients thought is contracting. robotics is not meant to be transplanted. instead, it's supposed to help doctors better understand the hot conditions of individual patients. and therefore i pinpoint the best treatment very helpful for treating people with hot conditions, but not a solution for patients waiting for an actual hot transplant. still 3 day by printing can be deployed in other ways. lots of patients who need a bypass due to block vessels, researches in northern germany, a testing out this idea of vascular surgeon, dr. riven bands and his team of developing a new procedure. speaking and fees isn't in artificial vessels, are in a georgia dream and surgery from the actual company in one of the cardiovascular
9:35 am
surgeons. you and have typically end up in a situation where you're caring for a patient, but don't have any suitable material to use for to bypass. and for example, i must, i'm for a heart bypass or a bypass of the leg. and researchers have been working for many decades now. i'm creating bio artificial vessels in the land. yep. so standing in level view, it would enable us to help perform a bypassing patients that don't have the necessary bodily material. i expect them to bypass on beating the research teams idea, a print, a single tenuously presses to liquids to create a flexible, to made of bio materials. that's roughly 30 centimeters long. one of these liquids is so cold by a way, it's a positive organic. think that's enriched with even investigative cells. it's guys, this is an elgin, a material made from brown out of normal and back to the cell generates as that cell is country bind well to it. that's why we have peptides which are small pieces
9:36 am
of proteins that can be found in the human body like college and you need to pay the sounds good. now bind to these peptides cubic even the peptides can also send signals to the sales so that they feel comfortable then can survive and reproduce and younger. after and initial phase using standard straight printers, the team is now switching to a robot with a specially developed printed one chain. the in the print head contains the biling . while the other contains calcium, fluoride stabilizes the bypass graft. let's look at selective i'm. this may look relatively simple, but it actually requires fine shooting. a lot of different from the hood also don't have one challenges. that bio into does not have no technic properties. in other words, it behaves differently from typical liquids becomes more solid to under pressure. eva, um, by just means we need to equip the printed both resistors here to ensure a uniform flow of the by a wing mcginnis, and who move in 1st the few instead of allies. it's all incredibly delicate and
9:37 am
precise work. so it's no surprise that the researches have carried out countless test prints. one challenge, the entire structure needs to have a consistent thickness for this evening. but if you take a look at this bypass and you can see how much it sends out and the size length of yes and on the other 2 sides, you can see that it's quite sick on the inside, right? so it won't hold up on those are the more symmetric, the structure, the stronger the circular structure, the more stable it will ultimately be. what is this? that'd be the best of the artificial bypass cross supposed to be as uniform as possible so that they can function inside the patients the decades of the printing . the new structures must mature in a nutrients solution at 37 degrees. for a few days, we usually print at room temperature, that's where it is the same, but keeping the cells at room temperature for
9:38 am
a long time can be detrimental to the cells. nathan selling nothing. so we print using this substance, we on the bike and then we place them in san to bio reactive where the culture is kept at $37.00 degrees. the i'm is for as many cells to survive the printing process as possible. if everything is going smoothly, numerous green cells become visible under the microscope. in the next lab test phase, bypass graft a being tested in animals. clearly a controversial ethical issue, but the scientists say it's necessary. and on that topic, 3 d printing with living cells could actually even help to replace animal testing. for example, when developing new drugs, pharmaceutical labs could use so called organ on a chip models. these devices can emulate how human organs function thanks to buy a chips, the need for animal testing could soon be reduced. the cells on the so called organ on a chip systems biologically, mimic human organs. when they come into contact with active agents,
9:39 am
instead of animal testing, researches are increasingly using these kinds of mini labs. it helps them to sun, if substances toxic to the human body or whether they could work as medications. the system basically consists of a microscope slide, at least one cell culture and micro channels. the membrane works as a carrier for the cell culture, while the micro channel supplied with f nutrients and active agent pot live. uh, excuse me, cells can be grown onto the chip or printed on the slide. using boiling sensors allow the scientists to monitor the condition of the cells home and ship. many of the bar trees have also started using coaches from multiple organs on the same ship, reducing the number of tests. today, there are even chips with complex 3 dimensional cell structures, which allows for more precise testing. 3 d printing using living cells,
9:40 am
certainly books, very promising. of course, it would be even better if we could print cells and organs exactly where they needed inside the human body. and scientists are already making big strides. check it out. this is an experimental meaning 3 d bias tool could directly print by material until opens and one day it could be deployed inside the human body. we can directly deliver multiple and they uh, they only table inside the main body and quite the coloring of intent of as a they have to make well material now side of the body. then it'll go to the lady, but the material they have to be quite when it says read a bunch and ready to decline as also fiction. and look last similar to an endo scope. the soft and flexible robeteck is inserted into the body by the through the mouth and a small, a small skin incision using bio ink. the device can print by material on to organs
9:41 am
and tissues, for example, to have had an oft or an injury. so this is a larger version of our 3 default printer. we have. this is basically used to, to, to live up on materials to the end side or off of the surgery to facilitate to the healing process. we have a camera located at the tip for the visualization, as we can see right here. and we have one channel at the top, 2 for the delivery of the materials. and after the fact, we have the control us to control the bending of the printer. and it doesn't lead print, it can also make any decisions and spray water to clean the wounds after an operation in the future. this medical tool could be used for different types of surgeries, including the removal of cancer risk. janice, it basically did the fi,
9:42 am
kenzie utilized on in one set of co device that came before them the and course a big surgical procedure. and therefore we can do more to sit and tie up kinds of timble inside the bodies. i think actually on the call on kansas, there is so much of groundbreaking research going on right now. but what people who are waiting for organ transplant need the most is more open donors. would you're doing night your organs, or do you say 3 day printed organs? as the way of the future, let us know, and so you next on the, these places in europe stepped into a bold adventure the treasure map for modern globetrotters.
9:43 am
describe it as some of us wriggled, begging sites on youtube. and also what do you see it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world for in a race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature, the more likes watching it on youtube dw documentary. this shadows, these costs and video shed lights on the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across and he employed a score farms and destroy lifestar. what is the legacy of this wide spread race as
9:44 am
depression today? history, we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the donald trump said again, what fascinates his supporters and what are they asked me. jordan is young. religious in studies, political science, denial. i definitely always felt lonely as a child. and so it was good to just be around a community of people at the same belief as make to good. chris is the president of a mental fabrication company in new hampshire. he says, donald trump is better for business. i just voted for president tribute about i feel damn good who's, who's my case grew up in mexico lives in las vegas and like many latinos once going to see a strong man in the wind to us. 3 perspectives, 3 states, one go,
9:45 am
donald trump, re election, the not restart or journey into the world of trump, supporters at the beginning of the election here in iowa state in the middle of the country. record low temperatures characterized the 1st call coast of the republican presidential primaries. in the last 2 elections, donald trump had trouble getting the support of young college educated americans as change. we meet jasmine jordan at the university of iowa in iowa city. so my dad is a truck driver, my mom decided to homeschool me because she just felt like i would get a better.
