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.

There is no way this is more viable than a manufactured micro needle, nor scalable.
Not scalable? You haven’t seen my back yard in the summer time, I’m gonna be rich!!
He said: I’m gonna be rich!
But all he got was an itch 🎶
Keep in mind, you can’t squish them.
Yeah yeah, we’ll figure that out, but first let’s talk about that first round of VC funds, right?
If you scaled it, it wouldn’t be high-resolution anymore.
Scaling goes in both directions.
It is not. This is just yet another piece of garbage science made to get into headlines, nothing more or less.
