Programmable Microbial Ink: Pioneering Living Materials in 3D Printing
What Happened Researchers have developed a groundbreaking programmable microbial ink for 3D printing of living materials using genetically engineered protein nanofibers. Published in Nature in late 2021, this innovation introduces a novel biofabrication method where living cells embedded within a protein-based ink can be precisely printed into complex architectures. The microbial ink leverages genetically engineered … Read more
