Certain compounds like fibrin (in blood clots) and collagen (in extra cellular matrix) self assemble under certain conditions. Small volumes delivered via liposomes being triggered to self assemble in specific locations is fascinating.

I can't access the actually paper, perhaps a more naive question but is there a physical 3d noozle of sorts to deposit these liposomes in a 3d space?

I think they inject it in the approx location and then the ultrasound makes the structures form
