Printing objects that can incorporate living organisms

A method for printing 3-D objects that can control living organisms in predictable ways has been developed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers at MIT and elsewhere. The technique may lead to 3-D printing of biomedical tools, such as customized braces, that incorporate living cells to produce therapeutic compounds such as painkillers or topical treatments, the researchers say.
