EXCLUSIVE Inside Britain's 'Frankenstein' lab: MailOnline goes behind-the-scenes to see how scientists can 3D-print BODY PARTS

Daily Mail - Science & tech 

It might not be a dingy castle surrounded by crashing lightning, but scientists in this clean, quiet laboratory would put any mad scientist's ambition to shame. While Dr Frankenstein had to build his monster out of spare parts, the researchers here aim to go further and make their body parts from scratch. At Nottingham University's Centre for Additive Manufacturing, scientists are combining 3D printing and cutting-edge biology to harness the body's own healing powers. And, while it might seem like science-fiction, they hope to soon print new parts for damaged organs on demand. To see just how close they are, MailOnline's Wiliiam Hutner dusted off his lab coat and went behind the scenes with the UK's very own Frankenstein lab.
