Researchers at the University of British Columbia have been able to successfully 3D print male reproductive cells.

In a pair of world-firsts, the team of researchers led by Dr. Ryan Flannigan, a UBC urology assistant professor, used a 3D printer to create viable testicular cells and identified early signs of sperm-producing capabilities.

"We wanted to really replicate what we see in the natural human body," Flannigan told Global News.

Jamie Mauracher has the story.
