CNET News - Paging Dr. Inkjet--broken bones need mending

CNET News - Paging Dr. Inkjet--broken bones need mending:
"Scientists at the University of Manchester in England are trying to develop a technique through which inkjet nozzles will spray live human cells onto a patient. Ideally, this would speed up the healing process because doctors could seed a patient with replacement tissue that would grow to the size and shape required. The seed cells could also be grown from a previously harvested sample from the patient, thereby reducing the chances of donor rejection."
