The Use Of 3-D Printers Has Opened Up The Possibility Of On-demand Implants, Prosthetics, And Medical

The use of 3-D printers has opened up the possibility of on-demand implants, prosthetics, and medical devices. This week, scientists reported that they were able to 3-D-print the first stable ear, bone, and muscle structures out of living cells and implant them in mice. The results were published in Nature Biotechnology. Anthony Atala, the director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine and an author on that paper, describes the challenges of 3-D printing living cells and how the technology could be used in bioengineering body parts.

twelve Essek Thelyss valentines/pick-up lines that no one asked for

Are you a Gravity Sinkhole? Because I’m feeling a powerful attraction to you.

Can I quantum tunnel my way into your classically forbidden region?

My favorite food is soups, but I’m thinking of eating out tonight.

Do you have truesight? Because you see right through me, valentine.

Let me show you a kindness.

No war crimes tonight, valentine. Unless you are into– look, I said I was sorry–

Valentine, I’m walking on air whenever I’m with you.

The inexorable flow of linear time isn’t the only thing I’m violating tonight.

Do you believe in love at first sight, or shall I invoke Fortune’s Favor and reroll my Charisma check?  

Can you clear the cats off the bed, valentine?

Have you been bound to a Luxon Beacon? Because I think you’re conse-cute.

Of my many regrets, loving you will never be one of them.
