Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists were able to 3D-print different microstructures inside live cells, including a delightfully tiny micro-elephant. The team also printed ...

A tiny elephant establishes a new stomping ground for 3-D printing: inside cells. For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant ...

A novel method has enabled scientists to 3D-print structures into live cells, paving the way for a new class of intracellular bioengineering tools and applications. In a first, scientists from the ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells. As reported in Advanced Materials, the investigators used their method to ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers. (Nanowerk ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...

Ever since the popularity of 3D-printing skyrocketed in the mid-aughts, people have manufactured everything from chocolate to rocket fuel—and that list now includes a microscopic elephant inside of a ...
