A @weigaolab.bsky.social study presents a novel imaging-guided in-vivo 3D printing platform that enables noninvasive deposition of biomaterials via focused ultrasound. This deep-tissue printing could have applications in drug delivery and tissue repair. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪

A team of scientists led by @weigaolab.bsky.social from 🇺🇸 @caltech.edu has developed a method for #3Dprinting polymers at specific locations deep within the body of living animals.
One step closer to 3D printing inside the body
What if doctors could precisely print miniature capsules capable of delivering cells needed for tissue repair exactly where they are needed inside a beating heart?

🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to:

1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.)

2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps

3. Support Research Funding in FY2026
