Now there’s a method to 3-D print stem cells
Daily News & Analysis
Scientists have developed a new 3-D printing method capable of producing highly uniform blocks of embryonic stem cells, which could be used as the ‘Lego bricks’ to build larger structures of tissues, and potentially even micro-organs. These cells are …
