Nerd Alert: Self Healing Gel and blah blah blah

For the past couple of years I've been learning 3D printing and it's pretty great. In learning this new stuff it has me thinking of how it could be used for medicine. More exactly in how it could be used in the replacement of organs and bodily tissues.

Also, over the years I've tried to follow the world of holography.  The potential for that tech has been woefully underutilized.

So when I found this article:
https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/22/brown-university-3D-printed-hydrogel-robotics/
it got the ole grey matter working. How could this self healing gel become a bio-gel. And if that's possible, how can holography be use to superimpose the minute features of a heart or liver into the bio-gel, such as the veins, valves, capillaries, etc...?

One of the issues with cloning or stemcell reproduction of organs is the containment, ie the skeletal/skin of an organ. The primary mass/protein of an organ can be cloned but it seems that the containing shell/cartillage doesn't follow the growth pattern of the desired organ.

But what if the bio-gel is used as a blank slate for a hologram of the selected organ. With the process of producing the hologram leaving a hollow structure for the necessary stemcells to grow on, creating the various layers that make up an organ.

This is a concept that makes me wish I could and would have focused more on science in high school. I often get ideas like this but just don't have the knowledge to move forward on them.

Anyway, it's an idea.

To anyone that finds this blog, thanks for taking the time to read it.
Be good to the ones you care about.
