* By 2014, there had been various tissues regenerated by the 3D printer and these tissues included: muscle, vagina, penis and the thymus.
* In 2014, a conceptual human lung was first bioengineered in the lab.<ref name=lung2014>{{cite web | url = https://www.wired.com/story/four-successful-bel-transplants/ | title = Bioengineers Are Closer Than Ever To Lab-Grown Lungs

* In 2015, researchers developed a proof of principle biolimb inside a laboratory; they also estimated that it would be at least a decade for any testing of limbs in humans. The limb demonstrated fully functioning skin, muscles, blood vessels and bones.<ref name=limb2015>{{cite web | last = Plaugic | first = Lizzie | title = Researchers have grown a partially functioning rat limb in a lab | website = theverge.com | publisher = washingtonpost.com | date = 4 June 2015 | url = https://www.theverge.com/2015/6/4/8730453/rat-limb-biolimb-regeneration-decellularization | access-date = 8 June 2015 }}</ref>
