#Researchers Develop 3d printing Method to Produce Shell Capsules That Can Be loaded with Therapeutic Drugs Researchers at the University of Minnesota have introduced a novel 3d printing based method to produce highly monodisperse core/shell capsules that can be loaded with biomolecules such as therapeutic drugs. They expect that this platform of 3d-printed programmable release capsules will be useful in applications such as dynamic tissue engineering, 3d-printed drug delivery systems, synthetic/artificial tissues, programmable matter, and bionic nanosystems. Another important application area could be combinatorial screening of biomolecular gradients drugs, toxins, pollutants, etc. against cell types. ur method provides us with robust control over particle properties, passive release kinetics, and particle distributions throughout a 3d matrix, Michael Mcalpine, an associate professor in mechanical engineering at the university, said. urthermore, we render these capsules stimuli-responsive by incorporating gold nanorods into the polymer shell, allowing for highly selective photothermal rupture and triggered temporal release of the biomolecular payload. a
