|"Commercial hand prostheses with articulating fingers have become quite advanced. These new devices in some cases have properties exceeding our human hands, for example, being able to rotate a screwdriver indefinitely in one direction. But with the technological complexity comes a financial cost, as these devices sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Joel Gibbard, an engineer in the UK, is working on a much cheaper solution that you can help turn into a real product." http://www.medgadget.com/2013/09/dextrus-3d-printed-open-source-robotic-hand-project.html|
"A team from eastern China has successfully printed a series of living kidneys. This is a huge step forward in the quest for 3D printed replacement organs." http://www.dvice.com/2013-9-9/tiny-kidneys-are-worlds-first-3d-printed-organs-living
