American research scientists are now working on creating replacements for living tissue.Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina have been working on creating and manufacturin

20、g living tissue since 2003This process is called biofabrication (生物制造) . It requires special printing equipment and a special kind of ink.Traditional printers require ink to produce an image or design on a piece of paper. For their three-D printer, the South Carolina researchers prepare complex nutr

21、itious solutions they call bio-inks. Bio-inks are made of proteins and glucose (葡萄糖) , which normally provides energy for most cells of the body.
