A new study from North Carolina State University shows a reproducible way of studying cellular communication among varied types of plant cells by "bioprinting" these cells via a 3D printer.

Plant scientists have used a standard "gene gun" since 1988 to genetically modify crops for better yield, nutrition, pest ...

The scientists employed "bioink," or living plant cells, in place of 3D printing ink or plastic. The mechanics of both procedures are the same, but there are a few key variations for plant cells, ...

Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...

The process of 3D bioprinting plant cells is mechanically similar to printing ink or plastics, with a few necessary tweaks. Instead of 3D printing ink or plastic, we use 'bioink,' or living plant ...

A recent study has established a method to print viable plant cells using a 3D printer. Researchers at North Carolina State University (NC, USA) have developed a method to 3D print various types of ...

Every form of life is being impacted by climate change and that includes plants. Researchers at the Salk Institute have created a new technology to study the cellular life of plants in 3D.
