A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.
I’ve linked to a decent write-up on Tom’s Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.
Source paper: 3D necroprinting: Leveraging biotic material as the nozzle for 3D printing (science.org)
It is not. This is just yet another piece of garbage science made to get into headlines, nothing more or less.
