this is advancing quickly. it is conceivable that we will be able to reproduce tissue using our own as a model. i imagine this to be a sort of photoshop "clone" tool, but of course in 3 dimensions, and the output of the copy being a printed cross section (of spinal cord tissue)

In the article it says the focus is to develop the tissue to be used as a sample to test drugs on it. Even if they can reproduce a section of the spinal cord would transplanting it work? Have they ever taken a donor spinal cord from an animal and transplanted it?

My point is there are many different experiments going on, and we have to decide which is plausible in the as they say "within 5 years."

Point to remember and kinda the way a researcher from Rutgers looks at things is that it works until it's proven not to work. That kind of science is hype called snake oil

The way I read the article stated this was just putting them a step closer to their goal.

No one knows for sure exactly when but it will happen eventually!
