Article Synopsis
- This study investigates using raw Greek honey in cacao-based materials for 3D printing, focusing on their physical properties and thermal stability.
- It finds that incorporating honey not only improves the nutritional value and taste but also enhances the delivery of Vitamin D3, which is known to support the immune system but is difficult to absorb.
- The research suggests that a 10% concentration of Lavender Honey is optimal for creating a stable and effective 3D-printed product, indicating the potential for these formulations in personalized health supplements and medicine.
Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is an emerging technology, offering the possibility for the development of dose-customized, effective, and safe solid oral dosage forms (SODFs). Although 3DP has great potential, it does come with certain limitations, and the traditional drug manufacturing platforms remain the industry standard. The consensus appears to be that 3DP technology is expected to benefit personalized medicine the most, but that it is unlikely to replace conventional manufacturing for mass production.

In MCF7 cells where K19 expression is ablated, knockout cells, suggesting that E-cadherin internalization contributed to defective adhesion. Ultimately, while K19 inhibited cell migration and invasion, it was required for cells to form colonies in suspension.
