Revolutionary breakthrough in 3D printers to aid facial surgery
Thousands of people needing facial reconstructions after being injured in car crashes or falls are set to benefit from pioneering 3D modelling.
Scientists will now be able to use precise models of skin cells in the human lip to make treatment simpler and better.
The technology is expected to improve surgery for cleft lip and palate conditions, including children born with such developmental problems.
In a study scientists reported the successful reproduction of lip cells and the development of…
