3D Printing: Game changer for organ or tissue repair
3D printing technology has enormous potential in healthcare due to its ability to be customized. Customization can dramatically reduce surgery times and medical expenses. Currently, the largest applications are 3D-printed scaffolds or prosthetics (orthopedic implants) and medical devices, such as dental implants and hearing aids. The game changer for 3D printing will be in human tissue printing: printed livers, hearts, ears, hands and eyes, or building the smallest functional units of tissues, which can lead to the fabrication of large tissues and organs. This can be used as surgical grafts to repair or replace the damaged tissues and organs.

A breakthrough in Coronavirus research by Australian doctors
The NSW Health department has announced it has produced two full genome sequences for the coronavirus, based on extensive tests of the remaining isolated patient at Westmead hospital. Researchers have been able to isolate the virus and study eight variants, to produce two full genome sequences. The results will be shared with the WHO which will aid efforts in developing a vaccinewww.sbs.com.au/news/nsw-doctors-map-coronavirus-genome-sequence-in-research-breakthrough
