Scientists print microscopic 3D cages to study bacteria

Bacteria in the human body thrive in 3D structured communities, so studying pathogens in this type of environment could better show how they interact. Now, scientists are doing just that - with microscopic 3D printed cages. Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin have used a new 3D printing technology, which allowed them to construct homes for the bacteria at a micro level. By encasing bacteria in these tiny homes, they were able to study how bacteria found in the human gut and lungs collaborate to develop infections...
