Create Living Cells With an Inkjet Printer

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the one-printer-not-to-buy-from-the-discount-store dept.

MattSparkes writes to tell us New Scientist has an article on the use of inkjet printing technology in creating biological tissue. From the article "An inkjet device that prints tiny 'bio-ink' patterns has been used to simultaneously grow two different tissues from the stem cells of adult mice. Surgeons could one day use the technology to repair various damaged tissues at the same time, the researchers say."
