This has been in research since about 2003 or so. It's pretty cool how its done, when I was in college, i wrote my freshman biomedical engineering paper on this topic. Although, at that time I would have imagined the research would have been more progressed by now. The difficulty is in creating the "scaffolding" or blueprints that would allow a full organ to be constructed. Right now it seems limited to blood vessels and other similar things.
