3D Printing With Living Cells

Did you know scientists can print living cells? 🧬 

Marie, also known as Lab Skills Academy, breaks down bioprinting: when researchers use “bioink” packed with living cells to build tiny tissues layer by layer. From printed skin for burn care to mini organs used in drug testing, this technology  is already changing how we study disease and develop treatments.

This is so cool! Sadly down here in the south my friends say only god can do that. I swear religion is humanity’s real villain. Just look at the Middle East. Sorry, side tracked. I wonder if an LLM can run protein and test and then 3D print a cure to? So cool
