32、e-dimensional printing, a technology that creates objects layer by layer, has revolutionized the way we make things. Recently, a group of Chinese scientists took things a step further by using this technology to create realistic replicas of human organs.Previously, it was challenging to create a sin

33、gle material that could print different human organs due to their complexity. The research team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Science started by using hydrogel, a soft gel-like material as the main ingredient.Human organs have various textures, with our bra

34、ins being the softest. To replicate the hardness of materials like bone, the researchers added metallic elements to the hydrogel and adjusted their ratio to create the texture of each organ. However, the structure inside human organs is also incredibly complex with many interweaving channels. To mak

35、e sure the printing results are correct, the team used light-curing technology in the 3D printing process. A special lamp was placed under the printing machine, causing the gel to become solid right after it was printed.According to the teams paper published in the journal Advanced Functional Materi

What scientists have been exploring in printing“ the organs is bioprinting: using 3D printing technology to build up various types of cells and materials layer by layer. This way, the printed product will be more acceptable to grow inside t

39、he human body. However, this method is still developing , and experts are hoping it will be used in the medical field within a decade, according to CNN. 12.

By controlling the number of metallic elements.B , By using light-curing technology before printing.C. By solidifying the gel immediately after printing.D.

41、 By putting a special lamp over the printing machine.14. What is a benefit of 3D organ models according to the article?A. They work better than animal models.B , They can be used to test surgical tools.C. They can fully replace animal testing.D. They are easily made and are affordable.15. Why are hy

42、drogel materials usually unsuitable for transplants?A. They are not durable enough.B. They can be rejected by the body.C. They are likely to release toxins.D.
