This new process involves growing plant cells in a gel medium filled with nutrients and hormones and using the gel as the material for a 3D bioprinter. The 3D printer deposits the gel into the shape of whatever model the printer is fed. The cell gel is then left to incubate in the dark for three months to fully grow. Read full article here
