Scientists Start Clinical Trials on Commercial Bioprinting...What?

The company is named Organovo has begun the first clinical trials for fabricating human tissue, based on the genome of our very own cells. Custom made outerwear, from the sounds of it! It's a San Diego Start-Up, run by CEO Keith Murphy, who anticipates the market "shipping" target date to be 4 years out. Fascinating new piece from CNET News... This picture is actually of a key component of the HIV protein which has just been isolated and identified. It is not relates to bioprining, but it is awfully pretty, so I just threw it in!
