Title misleading, they haven't 3d printed a heart, just some arteries. :( We are very, very far away from being able to actually 3d print hearts that could be used.

The same story with a less misleading title yesterday got fewer upvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10442755

(and even the arteries they printed are probably not actually functional)

At best I thought they were scaffold for another step, like covering the printed 'tree' with an elastic coating that would then be an 'artery'.
