A ten-year-old girl is set to become the first person in Britain to receive a 3D-bioprinted as part of a £2.5million research project.
Radiyah Miah, from Pembrokeshire, has a congenital condition known as microtia which means she was born without a properly formed left ear.
But scientists at Swansea University are working on technology which would see some of Radiya s own cartilage being used to 3D bioprint a new ear for her.
Researchers say she is at the top of the list to take part in the pioneering project which would see scientists use a small sample of cartilage cells, possibly from her nose, to create an living inner ear structure.
