Mini 3D printer with salt-grain-sized lens could build living tissue inside body
SMRTR summary
German researchers developed a revolutionary mini 3D printer that uses a salt-grain-sized lens on a fiber-optic tip to build living tissue directly inside the human body, potentially eliminating the need for tissue transplants. The device cures bio-inks layer by layer using focused laser light, promising micrometer-scale precision for regenerative medicine applications.
