Bioprinting Video: The Next Medical Breakthrough in Action<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m always on the hunt for the next innovative and game-changing technology. And I’ve gone to great lengths in the last year to explain why mobile devices qualify.<\/p>\n

After all, the mobile industry is only the fourth industry in the history of mankind to generate more than $1 trillion in annual revenue.<\/p>\n

The good news is that I’m convinced we just uncovered the fifth trillion-dollar industry! (Hat tip to my colleague, Justin Fritz, for putting this game-changer on my radar a few months ago.)<\/p>\n

So what is it? Well, it’s a form of 3-D printing<\/a>, whereby objects are constructed by laying down successive layers of material.<\/p>\n

Only in this case, instead of using plastics and metals, the printers use biological material. That’s right, living cells. And the products these printers create are living organs.<\/p>\n

The specific technology is known as bioprinting. I know it sounds completely far fetched. And a tad too complicated to be realistic. But that’s what I thought, too, until I started doing some more research.<\/p>\n

Today, I’m featuring a video in an effort to convince you, as well. So take a look, because I guarantee this is a technology you’re going to be hearing about in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

It holds the potential to revolutionize the entire medical world, which is more than a $5-trillion industry!<\/p>\n

Researching Today, Bioprinting Profits Tomorrow<\/strong><\/p>\n

In terms of investment opportunities, it’s still premature to look for a pure-play bioprinting company. But research efforts are ramping up across the country…<\/p>\n

For instance, researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina are trying to grow kidneys with printers.<\/p>\n

A team at Wake Forest University is developing a printer-based method to grow new tissue to treat burn victims.<\/p>\n

And over at the University of Texas at El Paso, engineers received a grant from the National Institutes of Health to perfect bioprinted cardiac patches.<\/p>\n

So it shouldn’t be too long before bioprinting applications jump from the laboratory to the marketplace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I recommend adding privately held Organovo<\/strong> to your watch list. The company developed the first commercial 3-D bioprinter for manufacturing human tissue and organs. Should it ever go public, it promises to be one hot IPO.<\/p>\n

For those looking for an immediate opportunity, consider Stratasys<\/strong> (Nasdaq: SSYS<\/a>) and 3D Systems<\/strong> (NYSE: DDD<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Both are pioneers in the broad 3-D printing space. (If you want to get a better understanding of 3-D printing technology, check out this New York Times video.)<\/p>\n

And if bioprinting takes off as I expect, there’s no doubt both companies are going to be involved in the growth – either by making bioprinters or via licensing their intellectual property.<\/p>\n

More favorably still, shareholders won’t have to wait for bioprinting to gain traction for the stocks to push higher, as both companies are enjoying explosive growth for traditional 3-D printers.<\/p>\n

In the most recent quarter, sales jumped 24.9\u00a0percent for Stratasys and 56.9\u00a0percent for 3D Systems.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: It’s time to officially put 3-D printing, and more specifically, bioprinting, on your watch list.<\/p>\n

The technology promises to change medicine forever<\/a> and make switched-on investors a bundle of money in the process.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the tape,<\/p>\n
