3D printed mesh robots: a possible future technique for tissue biofabrication?

Written by Mike Gregg

Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC, USA) have produced 3D printed flexible mesh structures that can be controlled using magnetic fields while floating on water. The structures can grab small objects and carry water droplets, giving them the potential to serve as tissue scaffolds for cell cultures.
