We are already known to the wonders of three-dimensional bioprinting (3D printing). The technology majorly involves techniques to combine cells, growth factors, and biomaterial to fabricate biomedical parts that maximally imitate natural tissue characteristics. 3D bioprinting involves layer after layer deposition of biomaterials like bioinks to create tissue-like structure, which can be used in tissue […]
Parnad Basu, Amity University Kolkata Among the five species of Plasmodium (P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. knowlesi.) that cause malaria, P. falciparum can be fatal.
