TU/e uses Xolography to 3D print living cells. The research could lay the foundation for printing complex biological tissues.

including the “germline” cells that will eventually produce sperm or eggs. If nothing is done later to reverse them, they will thus be passed on down the generations—unlike the sort of ...

To address this, the researchers ran a model amyloid-forming protein, hen egg white lysozyme, through a peristaltic pump similar to those used for dialysis. They then used fluorescence detection ...
