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.

Say what? Is this not exploiting an animal, or worse, creating a potential market incentive to further exploit animal bodies and life? I’m not even vegan and I hope you’re joking lol.
I think they were joking.
