LLNL Uses 3D Bioprinting To Produce Live Cells
By Lynn L. Bergeson On March 5, 2019, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) announced that their researchers have 3D printed live cells that are able to convert glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. The substance produced from this conversion resembles beer. This means that this newly developed technology can lead to highly efficient biocatalysis. According to LLNL’s announcement, the use of live microbes rather than inorganic catalysts is advantageous...
