New technique 'prints' cells to create diverse biological environments

With the help of photolithography and programmable DNA, researchers have created a new technique that can rapidly ‘print’ two-dimensional arrays of cells and proteins that mimic a wide variety of cellular environments in the body. This technique could help scientists develop a better understanding of the complex cell-to-cell messaging that dictates a cell’s final fate.
