Researchers followed 59 rays with acoustic tags and 12 with satellite tags, offering new insight for conservation. Biotechnology: The University of Costa Rica has acquired its first 3D bioprinter to build tissue-like models for research into regeneration, biomaterials and personalized medicine. The tool is for laboratory research, not printing transplantable organs.
