In the very near future, at the end of this month, a unique event will take place on the basis of the International Space Station.

The fact is that ISS employees will very soon begin to print muscle cells of such agricultural animals as a rabbit and a cow, and they will also reproduce fish muscle cells using a 3D bioprinter.

Such information was shared by Yousef Hesuani, creator of an amazing printing device made in the Russian Federation. It should also be noted that the printer is called 3D Bioprinting Solutions, and previously it had already printed muscle tissue of fish species such as salmon and tuna, as well as bovine muscle cells.

As soon as the first samples of muscle tissue of a cow, rabbit and fish are printed on the basis of the ISS, they will be sent for further research to Earth.

According to Youssef Hesuani, special cassettes with samples of cells for 3D printing will be sent to the International Space Station aboard the nearest Soyuz MS-15 cruise ship. It is known that the aircraft flies from Earth into space on September 25, 2019.

Now the bioprinter is in test mode. However, it is reported that on similar equipment, scientists working in space conditions have already printed rodent thyroid tissue, as well as human cartilage and bone marrow tissue.
