3D Printing with a Silicone Paste
Researchers achieved 3D printing of flexible silicone rubber structures through combining water with solid and liquid forms of silicone into a pasty ink.
Nanotherapeutic Systems for Local Treatment of Brain Tumors
Malignant brain tumors are heterogeneous and invasive, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The main challenge associated in treating such tumors is the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which actively filters out molecules entering from the blood stream.
