NEWS SUMMARY
Researchers at McGill University in Canada have developed a 3D printing technique called 3D necroprinting. They used the proboscis of a female mosquito as a natural nozzle, which can print very fine structures as thin as 20 micrometres at low cost. The nozzles fit existing 3D printers and last up to two weeks or can be frozen for a year. Using a special bio-ink, the team printed tissue scaffolds, including blood vessels, which could help create replacement organs.
