AbstractMicrogravity and space radiation are hazards of spaceflight that have deleterious effects on articular cartilage. Since it is not widely monitored or protected through dedicated countermeasures, articular cartilage loss is an unmitigated risk of human spaceflight. Spaceflight-induced cartilage loss will affect an astronaut’s performance during a mission and long-term health after a mission.

Researchers have taken a major step towards 3D laser-printed materials that could be used in surgical procedures to implant or repair medical devices. A team of scientists, led by researchers at Lancaster University, have developed a method to 3D print flexible electronics using the conducting polymer polypyrrole, and they have shown that it is possible to directly print these electrical structures on or in living organisms (roundworms).
