(D Magazine) – The funding, part of a new ARPA-H bioprinting initiative, aims to create transplant-ready organs—potentially within hours—using patients’ own cells.

UT Southwestern is joining a federal agency and several academic medical centers in an ambitious effort to add functional human organs to the growing list of items that can be produced through 3D printing.

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) announced that UT Southwestern Medical Center will receive nearly $25 million as part of the agency’s $176.8 million Personalized Regenerative Immunocompetent Nanotechnology Tissue (PRINT) program, which aims to use bioprinting and regenerative medicine to create immune-matched human organs. The program is designed to produce replacement organs using patients’ own cells, potentially within hours. (Read More)
