‘Bio-inks’ – materials used to produce engineered / artificial live tissue using 3D printing.
Bio-inks are materials used to produce engineered/artificial live tissue using 3D printing. These inks are mostly composed of the cells that are being used, but are often used in tandem with additional materials that envelope the cells. The combination of cells and usually biopolymer gels are defined as a bio-ink.
Bioinks may be made from natural or synthetic biomaterials alone, or a combination of the two as hybrid materials. In certain cases, cell aggregates without any additional biomate...

Plant consciousness & Biocommunication
Research is being conducted to understand Plant consciousness & Biocommunication.
Research still is in progress, but some suggest -
Plants may not have feelings but they are indeed alive and have been described as sentient life forms that have “tropic” and “nastic” responses to stimuli.
Plants can sense water, light, and gravity — they can even defend themselves and send signals to other plants to warn that danger is here, or near.
