Undoubtedly, technology is leaping ahead of time. And before it gets too late, medical science is also boasting of a life saving technique that intends to create new fleshy organs for the needy. It won't be long before humans will start manufacturing real human organs to replace the infected or dead organs. To prove this, researchers at University of Tokyo's Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) have created a 5-millimeter tall doll composed of living cells. This new method of fabricating three-dimensional living biological structures will be beneficial in the fields of regenerative medicine and drug development. How did the researchers manage to give shape to this ground-breaking doll? For a duration of 24 hours, about 100,000 cell capsules of skin coated 0.1-millimeter collagen balls were cultivated inside a doll-shaped mold. And once the cell capsules had coalesced to form the doll-shaped mass of tissue, it was placed in a culture solution where it survived for more than a day.

Leading the team, professor Shoji Takeuchi has claims thriving results when they tested the biofabrication method with human liver cells. The professor also states that altering the shape is as simple as changing the mold. he also expressed a desire to combine multiple types of cells to create a complex system that functions as a living organism.
