The $150 Bioprinter Extruder That Anyone Can Build
Most conversations about biofabrication focus on what the technology might eventually produce, organs, tissue implants, patient-specific grafts. Fewer focus on the practical question of who can actually access the tools to do that work. A previous paper published in HardwareX and available open-access via PubMed Central addresses that question directly, by publishing the full design…
