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.

Quantification of Epithelial Cell Proliferation, Cell Dynamics and Cell Kinetics In Vivo
A review of methods that can be applied to study the control of proliferation (and the proliferative hierarchy, especially the role of the elusive stem cells) in a wide variety of animal models.
2.5D Circuits using Stretchable Interconnects
Several devices using flexible circuit boards were created to demonstrate the possibilities of this technology, showing the ability to create thermoplastic electronic devices.
Enzymes Play a Role in Corneal Blindness
New research has revealed that a pair of catalytic enzymes, called extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), may play an essential role in the development of corneal blindness. (Image credit: MJTH/Shutterstock).
