Scientists 3-D printed a tiny elephant inside a cell
SMRTR summary
Scientists have successfully 3-D printed tiny objects inside living cells for the first time, including a 10-micrometer elephant and "barcodes" for tracking individual cells. This breakthrough, achieved using two-photon polymerization, opens up new possibilities for studying cellular forces and functions without genetic modification. Some cells survived the printing process and even divided, passing the printed structures to daughter cells.
