Many long COVID patients adjust to slim recovery odds as world moves on - Published Nov 14, 2024

By Jennifer Rigby and Julie Steenhuysen

Summary Long COVID symptoms can persist for years, with slim chance of full recovery Funding and attention for long COVID research are dwindling in many wealthy countries Long COVID symptoms can include extreme fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness and pain

LONDON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - There are certain phrases that Wachuka Gichohi finds difficult to hear after enduring four years of living with long COVID, marked by debilitating fatigue, pain, panic attacks and other symptoms so severe she feared she would die overnight.

Among them are normally innocuous statements such as, "Feel better soon" or "Wishing you a quick recovery," the Kenyan businesswoman said, shaking her head.

Gichohi, 41, knows such phrases are well-intentioned. "I think you have to accept, for me, it’s not going to happen."

Recent scientific studies shed new light on the experience of millions of patients like Gichohi. They suggest the longer someone is sick, the lower their chances of making a full recovery.

The best window for recovery is in the first six months after getting COVID-19, with better odds for people whose initial illness was less severe, as well as those who are vaccinated, researchers in the United Kingdom and the United States found, opens new tab. People whose symptoms last between six months and two years are less likely to fully recover.

For patients who have been struggling for more than two years, the chance of a full recovery "is going to be very slim," said Manoj Sivan, a professor of rehabilitation medicine at the University of Leeds and one of the authors of the findings published in The Lancet.

Sivan said this should be termed "persistent long COVID" and understood like the chronic conditions myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, or fibromyalgia, which can be features of long COVID or risk factors for it.

WANING ATTENTION Long COVID, defined as symptoms persisting for three months or more after the initial infection, involves a constellation of symptoms from extreme fatigue to brain fog, breathlessness and joint pain.

It can range from mild to utterly disabling, and there are no proven diagnostic tests or treatments, although scientists have made progress on theories about who is at risk and what might cause it. One British study, opens new tab suggested almost a third of those reporting symptoms at 12 weeks recovered after 12 months. Others, particularly among patients who had been hospitalized, show far lower rates of recovery.

In a study, opens new tab run by the UK's Office for National Statistics, two million people self-reported long COVID symptoms this past March. Roughly 700,000, or 30.6%, said they first experienced symptoms at least three years previously.

Globally, accepted estimates have suggested between 65 million, opens new tab and 200 million, opens new tab people have long COVID. That could mean between 19.5 million and 60 million people face years of impairment based on the initial estimates, Sivan said.

The United States and some countries like Germany continue to fund long COVID research.

But more than two dozen experts, patient advocates and pharmaceutical executives told Reuters that money and attention for the condition is dwindling in other wealthy countries that traditionally fund large-scale studies. In low- and middle-income countries, it was never there.

"The attention has shifted," said Amitava Banerjee, a professor at University College London who co-leads a large trial of repurposed drugs and rehabilitation programmes.

He says long COVID should be viewed as a chronic condition that can be treated to improve patients' lives rather than cured, like heart disease or arthritis.

'PROFOUNDLY DISABLING' Leticia Soares, 39, from northeast Brazil, was infected in 2020 and has battled intense fatigue and chronic pain ever since. On a good day, she spends five hours out of bed.

When she can work, Soares is a co-lead and researcher at Patient-Led Research Collaborative, an advocacy group involved in a review, opens new tab of long COVID evidence published recently in Nature.

Soares said she believes recovery seldom happens beyond 12 months. Some patients may find their symptoms abate, only to recur, a kind of remission that can be mistaken for recovery, she said.

"It's so profoundly disabling and isolating. You spend every time wondering, 'Am I going to get worse after this?'" she said of her own experience.

Soares takes antihistamines and other commonly available treatments to cope with daily life. Four long COVID specialist doctors in different countries said they prescribe such medicines, which are known to be safe. Some evidence suggests they help.

Others have less success with mainstream medicine.

Gichohi's illness was dismissed by her doctor, and she turned to a functional medicine practitioner, who focused on more holistic treatments.

She moved out of her hectic home city of Nairobi to a small town near Mount Kenya, policing her activity levels to prevent fatigue and receiving acupuncture and trauma therapy.

She has tried the addiction treatment naltrexone, which has some evidence of benefit for long COVID symptoms, and the controversial anti-parasitic infection drug ivermectin, which does not but she says helped her.

She said shifting from "chasing recovery" to living in her new reality was important.

A piecemeal treatment approach is to be expected while research progresses, and perhaps longer-term, said Anita Jain, a long COVID specialist at the World Health Organization.

Meanwhile, long-haulers face a new challenge with each spike in COVID cases. A handful of studies have suggested re-infection can exacerbate existing long COVID.

Shannon Turner, a 39-year-old cabaret singer from Philadelphia, got COVID in late March or early April of 2020.

She was already living with psoriatic arthritis and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, autoimmune diseases for which she regularly took steroids and an immunotherapy. Such conditions may increase the risk of developing long COVID, researchers say.

This past summer, Turner got COVID again. Once again, she is extraordinarily tired and uses a walker for mobility.

Turner is determined to pursue her music career despite ongoing pain, dizziness and a racing heart rate, which regularly land her in hospital.

"I don't want to live my life in bed," she said.

Feel free to offer your perspective, insight, advice and more importantly (to me), words of comfort. I live in Croatia, we are a bit behind with ADHD testing, I am a 32 year old woman with diagnosed depression and anxiety disorder. I am on antidepressants and take an anxiolytic as per needed. I have a master’s degree which I only mention as it factored into the interpretation of my results. These are all some disclaimers before I get into all of this.

After I did the interview portion of my evaluation online, I travelled to a different town to a centre that about two years ago started offering adult ADHD evaluations. The business of ADHD evaluations really boomed a few years back but the people working there are all qualified psychologists (albeit a bit too young according to my mother who is angry about what happened to me, I am saying because it is a bit funny). I saw mostly children at their centre which is okay and to be expected. I had no idea which tests would be administered to me, I decided not to press on too many specifics prior to testing as not to activate my research brain (and to possibly alter the results in a way that would hinder my diagnostic process) although unfamiliar experiences are a huge anxiety trigger for me. Well I was administered a full WAIS IV (and TOVA but i displayed very typical adhd patterns on it and it was an okay experience, not really my issue rn). I realized I was having my “cognitive skills” / intelligence tested but after someone I talked to told me they went through the same testing, I remembered what some of the tests I was allowed to see on paper did in fact include the name of the test. In the evaluation documents I was described to be visibly “overwhelmed”, exhibited a hand tremor, was said to ask many questions about the nature of the testing, overly self critical, quit on tasks in frustration. I also cried after an hour of testing. I cried so hard, it was hard for me to to calm down. I was in a state of panic. While I am obviously not the one qualified at administering these tests and I really have respect for these people, I really think they mishandled the whole situation.

They came to the conclusion that while my anamnesis and behavioral patterns point to ADHD, I demonstrated low cognitive skills in every category but verbal where I scored high (I was so stressed out about the mistakes I made and remembered in this category) so due to my educational level, the testing needs to be repeated as it was affected by my emotional state. They think depression might be altering my cognitive functions which yeah, happens and maybe it is happening to me but respectfully I think that it is not happening to an extent it happened there when I was clearly in panic. I am seeing a psychiatrist on tuesday. I spent a bunch of money on testing and now I am spending more money. I do not say lightly that this actually made my mental state worse as now I am doubting my own… cognitive skills. The psychologist also said if my visual processing speed was so bad as demonstrated on the test, I could not read a book in the amount of time I am able to. And I am still able to go through a 200 pages book in 3 hours or less depending on my mood. Now they are telling me to undergo 9 months of therapy and “i can if I want” come back to their clinic and pay more money to test again. I asked for the price even though in my head I did not truly entertain that option and the psychologist I was talking to said that they are currently raising their prices so she does not yet know. A bit hilarious. Anyways I feel like shit!!! I did not proofread this so sorry for the possible mistakes.

Starting Over With You (amnesiac!Rusty x Ruin/Equinox)

By some miracle, some higher being had taken pity on the amalgamation- or maybe it was sheer, dumb, blind panic that had him working faster than ever- but as soon as Charlie had left Parts and Service he was back on the cure, trying so desperately to finish it before she reached the lab. Unfortunately he didn't know how long that would take her but he couldn't think about it right now.

All that mattered was finishing the cure, fixing Rusty and-

The screen flashed with a completion notification.

Ruin stared at it, the little green letters and numbers reading "100%" and he let out a short, unbelieving laugh. He'd done it. He'd actually done it! His fingers flew across the keyboard as if he were playing a guitar or piano, and before he knew it the cure was already being uploaded into Rusty.

Ruin stepped back once the process started, as if him being too close would somehow screw it all up, and he waited. With the cure already going in Rusty Ruin finally turned to where Eclipse had been seated.

He was still catatonic, locked in place with only the faint flickering of his eyes, to indicate blinking and the slight rise and fall of his chest and shoulders, being the only indications he wasn't fully shut down yet.

Suddenly he felt something inside him, deep in his core and rooted throughout his coding. The virus inside him was stirring, trying to take control of him as it had before without much more success as it would have this time, but this time it felt a bit different. It felt like a more frantic thrashing than manipulative coercion. He could hear Eclipse groaning more too, saw him twitch slightly. The virus was trying to do...something? Override Eclipse's motor locks perhaps?

Then he felt it, like something raking through his code, and he felt the virus leaving him. In a panic he turned back to Rusty and the computer, it's progress bar already almost full. He felt the raking, the pulling getting stronger, Charlie must have begun the plan, no not now not yet not when he was so close to having Rusty back, please please please hurry up-

There was a brief flash throughout the room, and Ruin fell back, hitting his head on the way down and falling unconscious.

When he woke Eclipse was above him, the dog at his face licking him...

Ruin pushed Clippy back a bit and sat up, rubbing his head a little. "Ugh...what happened..."

"I think Charlie fixed everything."

Ruin blinked, processing the words before he shot up, nearly smack into Eclipse's face plate as he frantically scrambled to get up.

"What do you- no she can't have, I was-" Ruin paused at the terminal, looking in at Rusty. He was still, but still there.

With trembling fingers Ruin began to type away at the keyboard, running diagnostics and programs to wake him back up. The cure had been fast, but was it fast enough to work before Charlie fixed everything?

He ran every virus detection software, including the one for his virus.

He stared at the screen, the green lettering reflecting slightly off of him.

'No viruses detected'

'Cure upload: 100% complete'

Slight movement tore Ruin's attention away from the screen watching as the computer began the reboot process and Rusty began to wake, fingers twitching with the motor function test, head, eyes and voice box reacting for the same reason.

Once the testing finished Rusty properly woke and sat up, looking around and at his hands and tail and every part he could see, as if he was seeing himself again for the first time.

For Rusty, it might as well have been the first time again.

"Where...am I...?"

And then Rusty looked at him.

He'd done it.

He'd cured Rusty.

He finally had him back.

"Who are you?"

Ruin felt his system stutter and his gears jam. What kind of question was that? Surely he was joking? Then again he did just wake up from what was essentially a living nightmare so of course he'd be a little confused, and Ruin looked a little newer than the last time they'd really seen each other.

"It's me, Ruin. Eclipse. You're in Parts and Service. Not in our home though, that place is dead and gone. You...you're all better, Rusty. You're finally...I finally cured you."

Rusty tilted his head and looked confused. "Not home? What do you mean destroyed? And cured me of what?"

'Ok this is getting a bit old' Ruin thought. Rusty should know what he was on about qith the virus. For all his testing, he knew it couldn't erase memories, especially not forty or so years of them.

"Alright Rusty that's enough. Please drop the joke, it isn't particularly funny anyway."

"Dude, I'm not joking. I seriously have no idea what you mean or where I am or who you are."

Ruin frowned a bit. On one hand it wasn't like Rusty to joke about knowing him or remembering, the gator was a genius. Not nearly on his level but pretty smart.

"Hold on, let me check your system again, perhaps it didn't check everything during shut down..."

Ruin typed away on the keyboard again, running another diagnostics. After a few minutes everything came up.

"Motor functions optimal. Voice box test optimal. AI function optimal. Casing needs repairs. Memory bank-"

Ruin froze, staring at the last string of words highlighted in red.

'Memory bank corruption, hard reboot initiated. Corrupted files deleted'

Ruin's hands were trembling as he fell to his knees before the terminal, staring at the ground as his processors tried to catch up with the information.

There was no way. This was some cruel, twisted joke on him from the universe. Maybe retribution for the trillions of lives he indirectly took in his crusade to kill the Creators, even if it ultimately did as much good as it did harm.

No matter what he just couldn't have a happy ending could he?

He became vaguely aware of black oil stains appearing on the floor, feeling them drip down his face. He was crying.

First he mourned Rusty losing himself. Then he mourned the life they could have had. Now he was mourning Rusty all over again.

"Hey, uh...Ruin, was it? Everything uh, everything ok out there? You good, man?"

Ruin blinked and wiped away the tears, taking a minute to compose himself and stood, taking a deep breath to steel his nerves and turned to him.

"Everything's fine, Rusty. Don't worry about it. Everything's in working order," Ruin pressed a button to open the chamber. "Go ahead and explore if you wish. Just remember this isn't your original home. I...have a lot to explain regarding that but I don't want to overwhelm you too much just yet. For now just know there is another Montgomery here. Go ahead and have a look around, meet some new friends."

"Ok...sure you're good, Ruin?"

"I'm sure. Go on, I'll be fine."

With a final look and slight hesitation Rusty left Parts and Service. As soon as the doors shut Ruin sat against the terminal, sighing heavily and closing his eyes.

Maybe, just maybe, this was a blessing in disguise. He had a chance to start fresh, no virus to worry about, no creator or world ending problems. Well, there was still the issue of Afton, Mimic and EK but they would be dealt with.

Eclipse would make sure of it.

For now, Ruin would worry about Rusty. After a few more minutes he got up to find Rusty and check on him.

Starting over sounded nice after all.

In a rare case, a black bear in Connecticut has tested positive for rabies, sparking a warning from state wildlife officials.

The bear was a wild female adult discovered in Canton, Connecticut, in February 2023. Like other bears, it should have been hibernating during the winter months. However, due to mobility issues on the left side of its body, the bear was seen falling over, lying down, and not responding to human presence, according to a new paper in the journal Microbiology Resource Announcements.

The bear was observed for 24 hours before being euthanized by a Connecticut conservation officer. Its body was taken to the Connecticut Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (CVMDL) at the Unversity of Connecticut's College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources for a post-mortem.

After the CVMDL sequenced the bear's brain tissue during the necropsy, they discovered that it was infected with rabies. This was only the second bear the lab had encountered with the virus.

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) has advised the public to avoid any animal that "appears to be distressed, which may include symptoms like stumbling, staggering, walking in circles, dragging a limb or the hind end, or otherwise acting strangely," according to a statement from the University of Connecticut.

Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system of mammals, causing the inflammation of the brain. The virus is typically transmitted through the saliva of infected animals via bites, scratches, or even mucous membranes and open wounds. It is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, which generally manifest after around 2–3 months and can initially include fever, headache and weakness, progressing to agitation, anxiety, hallucinations, a fear of water, excessive salivation, and lack of coordination.

If an animal displays neurological symptoms, such as stumbling and falling over, then scientists will first test for rabies. If the test comes back positive, CVMDL does not proceed with a full necropsy to protect staff.

"We rule out rabies because we don't want to do a necropsy that could expose people unnecessarily," Guillermo Risatti, CVMDL director and professor at the University of Connecticut, said in the statement. "So, once we detect rabies, that's it. We don't do anything else with the carcass."

The CVMDL scientists sequenced the entire genome of the rabies virus found inside the bear to compare it with a gene bank of other sequences from animals infected with rabies across the world. They found that the virus in the bear—which was the only bear sample on the whole database—most closely resembled a virus sequence from a raccoon in New England.

By comparing these strains of rabies, scientists can investigate how the virus spreads between animals in certain areas.

"That's the value—to see what the virus looks like and be able to distinguish a new virus coming into the area," Risatti said. "All of the sequencing is done by us, here in house. So that is the value. We have created a sequencing lab inside a diagnostic lab that is allowing us to dig more into what is going on."

Only 1 to 3 cases are reported in humans in the United States annually. If a human contracts rabies, they need to receive post-exposure prophylaxis as soon as possible, which can be up to 100 percent effective at preventing the disease. Around 60,000 people receive this post-exposure prophylaxis in the U.S. every year.

Humans most at risk are those living in areas where wildlife that commonly contract rabies, including bats, raccoons, skunks, and foxes, are common. While this case of rabies in a bear is rare, it may become more common in the future, as sightings of black bears in Connecticut have increased lately.

Nine bears were submitted to the CVMDL for testing in 2023 alone, compared to seven between 2019 and 2022.

The DEEP advises calling the local animal control officer or police department if you spot a potentially rabid animal, staying well clear of it, and definitely not attempting to pick it up.

Yeah it’s very important to note that a thought getting stuck is in fact not the best description of OCD symptoms. That thought has to be very distressing. Distressing enough to interrupt daily functions. It doesn’t always have to be Extreme Violence™️ but the reason it often is is because those are the thoughts that best get obsessions to turn into conpulsions. Pure O anecdotally seems to have obsessions that may be less graphic, but not always and they’re still very distressing, even if they’re something that seems “silly” like a rotating cow.

OCD is ego dystonic - that means it goes directly against you and everything that makes you you. It means it is reasonably able to be personified into someone that absolutely hates you - truly loathes you - and wants you to suffer in the worst ways imaginable. It attacks fundamental beliefs, morals, anything to make you distressed. It’s a personal callout where it hurts the most. If your OCD finds the easiest way to cause you extreme distress is a rotating cow, it will absolutely do that. If the most direct way is images of extreme graphic violence - potentially committed you but not always - it will do that. But no matter what, it is not something that the have-r of the thoughts thinks is funny, catchy (songs), or otherwise positive or neutral.

This is not true of some of the disorders outside of OCD that can cause it, on the other hand.

OP definitely could have OCD based on this description but ofc it’s just one example so it doesn’t like, diagnose them (which I don’t think anyone was genuinely trying to do it’s just worth noting if impressionable ppl like children come across this post), but anyone who may think hours of a song they like stuck in their head - even if you have to listen to it in full to make it stop (this is common with earworms) - is OCD would be mistaken. Even being annoying but not distressing does not qualify. This doesn’t mean someone who does have OCD can’t get annoying earworms but it does mean those aren’t a symptom.

It’s really important that we watch our language so we do not water down the fundamental symptoms of an often debilitating disorder by saying it’s just a stuck thought. It is a thought, mental image, earworm, urge, etc. that causes extreme distress. Intrusive thoughts are not just a thought that repeats in your head. Please know that.

I know people are going to say “it’s not that deep” but it is. OCD is already dangerously misunderstood and watered down by the general public. How is it dangerous? Because when people hear about the true OCD symptoms - such as intrusive thoughts that you might be a pedophile and not know it, or “wanting” to kill someone very dear to you - they do not think “oh god that is so stressful for you; I’m sorry your OCD is causing you to go through that”. Instead they think “oh my god you’re a terrible disgusting person no good person thinks that” which is ableist and leads to isolation and further OCD spirals.

That can and does kill people. Because now they’re alone with a reinforced belief that they are a monster and the OCD plays off that, makes it worse, and deepens rumination and obsession. This forces either compulsions that become more and more intrusive or possibly dangerous to the individual (and makes them more likely to listen to those compulsions), or in “pure O” OCD, creates a thought spiral so intense and so lasting that they may believe there is only one way out.

OCD isn’t just a “stuck thought”. It is a thought that can, if not given assistance, suck the life and/or will to live out of you.

And this isn’t just my opinion, nor is it even just researchers; it is the direct specification and phrasing of the diagnostic tests I had done by a psychiatrist and multiple therapists to get and confirm my OCD diagnosis. It’s something they’re very clear about - “do these thoughts cause you intense distress”, “have these thoughts ever led to you doing dangerous things or self-injuring (including by excessive hand-washing, holding urine, refusing to eat, etc not just classic sh) in an attempt to end the thought”, and “do these thoughts interfere with fundamental activities like eating, hygiene, socializing, leaving the house, working, etc”.

Idk why but as a kid I used to get hysterically upset everytime I would imagine a gif of a rotating cow because I could never stop the cow from rotating no matter how hard I tried and I would be crying and no one knew why

Could We One Day “Print” Human Organs?

You’ve probably heard whispers across the biomedical field: printing human organs isn’t just a theoretical possibility—it’s a serious scientific pursuit. As someone working in biotech, regenerative medicine, or advanced diagnostics, you know how persistent the shortage of donor organs remains and how much room there is to improve rejection outcomes. That’s where 3D bioprinting steps in. In this article, you’ll get a clear understanding of how bioinks and stem cells are laying the groundwork for printable organs, what kinds of tissues have already been successfully printed, the engineering hurdles to scaling up whole organ systems, and what you need to track if your work intersects with translational medicine, regulatory pipelines, or lab-grown therapeutic systems.

Bioinks: Your Starting Material for Living Tissues

You can’t build a functioning organ without the right printing material, and in your lab, that starts with bioink. You’ve likely worked with or studied formulations that combine hydrogels, extracellular matrix components, and live cells, sometimes even including growth factors or synthetic scaffolds. These bioinks allow you to print cells with spatial precision while supporting cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation. Whether you’re printing skin-like sheets or vascular tissues, the rheology and biocompatibility of your ink directly affect print fidelity and eventual tissue function.

Recent innovations have introduced self-healing bioinks, temperature-sensitive compositions, and even multi-material systems that let you integrate different cell types layer by layer. You’ve probably seen how this precision allows structural mimicry of complex tissues like kidney cortex or cardiac muscle. And while the tech is promising, bioinks still present challenges—especially when balancing stiffness and cell permeability for larger constructs.

Printing Functional Tissues: Skin, Vessels, and Cartilage

You’ve seen the headlines about researchers printing simple human tissues in controlled settings. Skin has become one of the earliest success stories—bioprinted skin can mimic both the dermis and epidermis layers and is already being used in burn repair research and cosmetic testing. If your focus is on wound healing, you’ve likely experimented with dermal scaffolds printed with fibroblasts and keratinocytes.

Blood vessels are another critical step forward. You understand that vascularization is key to ensuring larger tissues survive beyond a few millimeters in thickness. Many labs are now developing perfusable vascular networks using sacrificial inks or coaxial printing methods. And let’s not forget cartilage—its avascular nature makes it easier to print than organs, and bioprinted ear or nose structures are already in early-stage human trials. These milestones build confidence in scalability, pushing the field toward bigger, more complex builds.

The Liver, Kidney, and Heart Are the Next Targets

Moving from patches to full organ systems requires an entirely different level of design and coordination. You’re not just printing cells—you’re architecting functional units like nephrons, hepatic lobules, or myocardial layers. In liver bioprinting, you may have worked on spheroid-based models or tissue strips that produce albumin and perform basic detoxification. These constructs are now used in drug screening and disease modeling.

The kidney, though highly complex with millions of filtration units, is under active research. You may be testing bioprinted renal tubules that can mimic filtration in microfluidic systems. Cardiac bioprinting is also evolving. If you’re in cardiovascular research, you’ve probably seen lab-built patches that synchronize with heart rhythms or include electromechanical stimulation to maintain cell viability. Full organ replication still faces obstacles, but every layer printed brings you closer to transplant-grade constructs.

Vascularization: The Core Bottleneck

Here’s where your engineering mindset comes in—vascularization is the single biggest challenge you face when scaling up. Without a blood supply, any thick printed tissue will die quickly. To fix this, researchers like yourself are applying principles from fluid dynamics and biomaterials to print endothelial-lined channels or introduce sacrificial scaffolds that can later be flushed out.

You may have explored embedding angiogenic factors within layers or integrating pericytes to stabilize microvascular networks. The goal is to achieve spontaneous inosculation when the printed organ is implanted—meaning your printed vessels connect with the body’s own circulatory system. Until then, functional organ transplants at scale will remain out of reach.

3D Bioprinters: The Machines Behind the Vision

Let’s talk hardware. You’ve likely upgraded from a basic extrusion printer to a more specialized bioprinter capable of temperature control, multiple printheads, and real-time cell monitoring. Whether you’re using stereolithography, inkjet, or laser-assisted printing, your choice of printer affects resolution, speed, and cell survival.

Companies like CELLINK, Organovo, and Aspect Biosystems are leading providers in this space, and you may be using one of their platforms in your lab. Some of these devices now come equipped with AI-driven controls that adjust extrusion pressure or print paths in real time. If your work involves translational medicine, investing in GMP-compliant printers will also be critical down the line.

Safety, Rejection, and the Clinical Timeline

You’re aware that safety is where most bioprinting breakthroughs stall. Printing with patient-derived iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells) can reduce immune rejection, but ensuring that no mutations or functional abnormalities arise remains your responsibility. Before a printed heart or kidney can be implanted in humans, you’ll need to show long-term viability, mechanical strength, and regulatory compliance.

There’s also the challenge of standardization. You can print tissues that look similar from one trial to another, but ensuring they behave identically under physiological stress is where the field must advance. You’re already seeing efforts by regulatory bodies to classify bioprinted constructs as combination products—part device, part biologic—complicating the approval process further.

Real-Time Applications and What's Already in Use

You don’t have to wait for printed hearts to make a clinical difference. Today, you might be using bioprinted bone scaffolds in orthopedics, vascular grafts in bypass research, or skin models in toxicology studies. These early-stage products are already improving patient-specific therapies and speeding up testing pipelines.

Some of your colleagues are even using printed tumor models that better mimic the tumor microenvironment, leading to more accurate drug trials. If you’re in pharma or preclinical testing, this alone could reduce time-to-market for new treatments. You’re witnessing how bioprinting is reshaping adjacent fields even before organ transplantation becomes common.

Here’s what’s already possible with 3D bioprinting

Skin, cartilage, and blood vessels

Liver and heart tissue patches

Functional microvascular structures

Personalized tissue models for drug testing

In Conclusion

You’re no longer asking if human organs can be printed—you’re focused on how and when. The progress you’re witnessing, from viable bioinks and vascular engineering to liver strips and heart patches, confirms the potential. While full-sized transplantable organs are still years away, the building blocks are already in place. Your role—whether as a researcher, clinician, or biomedical engineer—is to help refine the technology, secure safety, and bring these life-saving innovations closer to patient bedsides.
