Loveland-based 3D printer manufacturer Aleph Objects announced Wednesday that it had teamed up with a company in a collaboration that eventually could lead to 3D printing of human organs. Working with Massachusetts-based FluidForm, Aleph has modified its LulzBot Mini 2 desktop printer to enable it to 3D-print liquids including the building blocks of human tissue in a process called bioprinting. “We’re not going to see bioprinted hearts in people in three or four years; that’s still a fantasy,” FluidForm CEO Mike Graffeo said in a phone interview Wednesday. But it’s possibility down the road, he said. In fact, Graffeo said, “the biggest emphases in bioprinting today line up with the biggest needs in transplants: heart, lung, liver, kidney and eyeball.”“When I was an undergraduate, with the first notion of tissue-engineered organs, everyone got excited and said we would have them in 10 years.

KYIV - Thousands of people gathered in the center of Kyiv on Sunday to send a message to Ukraine's president, who meets his Russian counterpart on Monday, that Ukrainians will not accept a peace deal at the cost of the country's independence and sovereignty.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., received $1.9 million from private legal work during her time as a law professor stretching back three decades, according to a release by her campaign.

Some of her clients included the attorneys for Rabobank, a Dutch financial institution that became a creditor in the Enron bankruptcy; former directors of Getty Oil, who were involved in Texaco’s bankruptcy; and women whose allegations of harm from silicone breast implants produced by Dow Corning were imperiled when the company filed for bankruptcy. In May, Warren released a list of 56 cases on which she worked as an attorney going back to the 1980s, … [Read more...] about Elizabeth Warren reveals she made $1.9 million from private legal work over 3 decades
