3D-printing the brain's blood vessels with silicone could improve and personalize neurosurgery

A new 3D-printing technique using silicone can make accurate models of the blood vessels in your brain, enabling neurosurgeons to train with more realistic simulations before they operate, according to our research recently published in Science.
