Two‐Photon 3D Printing of Functional Microstructures Inside Living Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates 3D printing inside living cells by using two‐photon photo‐lithography. A bio‐compatible photoresist is injected into cells and selectively polymerized with a femtosecond laser, creating custom‐shaped intracellular structures with submicron resolution.

Spontaneous migration of periocular glass foreign body: An interesting case

open access: yesKerala Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
The occurrence of soft-tissue foreign bodies (FBs) in and around the orbit is often seen after trauma. Wound exploration and removal of the embedded materials is the standard of care. Relevant investigations help to detect retained FBs in suspected cases.
