Nano Printing Technique Produces Model Membranes

An international team of investigators based in the United States and Germany has modified the nanoscale printing technique known as dip-pen nanolithography to create large numbers of model cell membranes. This method, published in the journal Small, could open the door to a better understanding of how the cell membrane functions and could lead to new ways of getting therapeutic drugs into cells.
