21-Aug-2017

Key points from article :

3D bioprinting laboratory-grown cells that can form complex living tissues and cartilage.

Currently cells often move within printed structures and can collapse on themselves.

New method produces tissues in protective nanoliter droplets wrapped in a lipid coating.

Improves the survival rate of the individual cells.
