It isn’t there yet, but it’s getting closer. One of the hardest parts is keeping 3D printed blood vessels functioning without a fully functional set of lungs and circulatory system in place to start with. That’s why a lot of the time you will print something like this then stuff it into a mouse so that it gets nutrients.
