Using 3D printing to improve implantable biomedical devices, touchscreens and more

黑料不打烊 researchers are exploring a new technique that uses 3D printing and hydrogels. It has the potential not only to improve biomedical implants but could also be useful in the development of human-machine interfaces such as touch screens and neural implants. Biomedical devices like pacemakers or blood pressure sensors that are implanted into the human body need to be fabricated in such a way that they conform and adhere to the body 鈥� and then dissolve at the right time.

Phosphatases of regenerating liver (PRLs) are a family of enigmatic proteins involved in cell growth and metabolism present in various species. From humans to fruit flies, they play a unique role in the growth of cancerous tumours and the spread of cancer throughout the body. New research emerging from 黑料不打烊 University is contributing to what is known about PRLs, which could potentially become an important tool in the development of cancer-fighting treatments.聽聽
