      Submission Statement

      Their system 3D prints living tissue by focusing a laser through a grain of salt-sized lens on a hair-thin fiber. They’re also exploring how to guide cell growth with microscopic scaffolds, hoping the body can take over the regeneration process.

      I wonder when this might move from lab to something that is used in everyday medicine?
