Wasn’t there talks about a “Patent” last week but folks said it wasn’t MDIN? Due to being an ink Jet Modification?

Read this: Says Thermal Ink Jet Printing is promising in tissue engineering

Thermal Inkjet Printing

Inkjet printing is a “noncontact” technique that uses thermal, electromagnetic, or piezoelectric technology to deposit tiny droplets of “ink” (actual ink or other materials) onto a substrate according to digital instructions.10 In inkjet printing, droplet deposition is usually done by using heat or mechanical compression to eject the ink drops.10 In TIJ printers, heating the printhead creates small air bubbles that collapse, creating pressure pulses that eject ink drops from nozzles in volumes as small as 10 to 150 picoliters.10 Droplet size can be varied by adjusting the applied temperature gradient, pulse frequency, and ink viscosity.10

TIJ printers are particularly promising for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.10,13 Because of their digital precision, control, versatility, and benign effect on mammalian cells, this technology is already being applied to print simple 2D and 3D tissues and organs (also known as bioprinting).10 TIJ printers may also prove ideal for other sophisticated uses, such as drug delivery and gene transfection during tissue construction.10
