Scientists pioneer 3D-printed drug delivering micro-needles
Researchers have developed a new technique to produce a 3D ‘micro-printed’ array of needles capable of drug delivery. The technique would offer a pain-free drug delivery device that would allow drugs to diffuse within the body as the biomaterial device degrades in the body. This offers treatments for a wide range of diseases, including melanoma […]

3-D printed ‘building blocks’ of life
Scientists have developed a 3-D printing method capable of producing highly uniform ‘blocks’ of embryonic stem cells. These cells – capable of generating all cell types in the body – could be used as the ‘Lego bricks’ to build tissue constructs, larger structures of tissues, and potentially even micro-organs. The results are published today, Wednesday […]
