Enter "organ printing" and the first thing that comes up is
http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/07/2115235&from=rss

"*"Organ printing is an emerging branch of medicine which uses healthy cells
to repair a damaged or diseased organ. But as its name implies, this new
medical technology needs ink, paper and a printer. Now, a new
hydrogel<http://www.desnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,635158922,00.html>-- or
biopaper -- developed at the University of Utah has been selected by
the National Science Foundation (NSF) to speed up this process. This
five-year NSF study will initially try to print blood vessels and
cardiovascular networks. But its real goal is to build some complex organs,
such as livers or kidneys. This technology can potentially help millions of
people waiting for transplants.""
