Researchers in Houston have developed a cost effective method for printing living cells, claiming almost a 100 percent survival rate. The method, which has similarities with the ancient art of Chinese wood block printing, allow cells to be printed on any surface and in virtually any two dimensional shape. And while current inkjet printers adapted to print living cells can cost upwards of US$10,000 with a cell survival rate of around 50 percent, this simple new technique could see the cell stamps produced for around $1...
