Coral larvae are picky about where they attach and settle down. One of the ways they decide is by “smelling” chemicals in the water that are associated with healthy reefs.

With coral reefs in crisis due to climate change, scientists have engineered a bio-ink that could help promote coral larvae settlement and restore these underwater ecosystems before it's too late.

A new bioengineered ink dramatically boosts coral larvae settlement. The oceans are getting hotter and coral reefs are ...

The researchers at UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Jacobs School of Engineering developed the gel, SNAP-X, ...

The research team hopes it could contribute to rebuilding coral reefs around the world. The post Special bio-ink could help ...
